The 62-year-old mother, her son and a grandchild managed to escape before the house sank, but the daughter was trapped inside. She was rescued, unconscious from the ruins of the house and rushed to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead. The victims were identified as Sirikorn Buasathian, 62, Warinthon Buasathian, 25, Notnicha Buasathian, 6, and Punyanuch Buasathian, 24, who was killed. Everyone had managed to get out before it sank into the sea, with some bruises, except for Punyanuch, who was trapped inside, said Mr Warinthon. However, they would request the authorities make a formal inspection of the collapsed house to find the exact cause.
