PAD's Somkiat Pongpaiboon dies at 71Somkiat Pongpaiboon, a co-leader of the now-defunct People's Alliance for Democracy, died on Sunday. I was informed by Pi Noy, Somkiat's wife, at 11.10am that he died just a while ago at Maharat Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital. He was later transferred to the Bangkok-Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital where he underwent a CT scan and was diagnosed with a brain hemorrhage. Somkiat was later moved back to Maharat Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital where he stayed on life support until he was pronounced dead on Sunday. He was a lecturer at Nakhon Ratchasima Rajabhat University and a party-list MP of the Democrat Party from 2007-2011.
