Mother of conscript, 21, questions ‘heart attack’ cause of death
Another mysterious death of a conscript has been exposed after the mother of Private Adisak Noipitak told the media after her son had died at Thepsatree Sri Sunthon Camp in Nakhon Si Thammarat.
Tuanchai Noipitak, mother of the 21-year-old soldier, said the Army had informed her on Saturday that her son had died from a heart attack only 10 days after he began his military service at the camp.
Tuanchai said she did not believe a heart attack was the cause of death because he had been healthy and did not have any underlying causes of disease.
Moreover, she said there were many bruises on her son’s body, especially on his back, body and neck and his ribs were broken.
She said she had also found out that a military trainer had tried to conceal her son’s death by not allowing other soldiers to contact Adisak’s family.
She demanded that Thepsatree Sri Sunthon Camp Hospital transfer her son’s body to Songkhlanagarind Hospital in Songkhla’s Hat Yai district for an autopsy.
If the autopsy shows that her son had not died from a heart attack, she will sue the people who were responsible for his death and file a petition with Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, she said.
