The completely burned body of the driver, Chantorn Manmor, was in the driver's seat.
According to preliminary police investigation, the man had met with his friends before the suspected suicide. He reportedly asked them to drink with him for the last time, before his ascension to heaven. However, no one paid attention to his mood.
Police found a gallon of oil in his pickup, and assumed that he had soaked himself and then set fire to his body.
