ACM Chawarat Marungruang, chairman of the fact-finding, was speaking to journalists after unconfirmed reports about the autopsy were widely shared. Chawarat said he has not seen the autopsy report from the institute and he heard that the family had declined to make it public. But he said the autopsy result was only the end result and his committee had already interviewed 40 witnesses, including teachers and students. The cadet’s case captured national attention after Phakhapong’s family came forward last month to demand a transparent inquiry into his death. The school and Phra Mongkutklao Hospital stated in his initial death certificate, and in the hospital autopsy report, that he died of heart failure.
