According to Oriental Daily, the 57-year-old deceased was found dead at 7 am on 11 December. Investigations had shown that her death may be due to the small stand fan that was turned on throughout the night. Not only that the woman wasn’t using any blankets to keep herself warm, but she was also wearing a black singlet and a pair of shorts!
When the police arrived at her home, they noticed that the fan was still turned on, while the deceased was lying rigidly on her mattress. The sad news is that this woman is the 5th person to have frozen to death in their sleep in Chaiyaphum in this cold season!
