The deceased man was found to have died from an infection in the stomach and intestines and Sakhon’s relatives were contacted to collect the body. A co-worker told police the deceased man spoke Thai and was from the Northeast. Sakhon previously had said a Myanmar man had stolen his ID card, so he had filed a report and obtained a new card from Nakhon Si Thammarat’s Khanom district office. However, any monetary compensation would be considered based on the law, he said, as the family claimed to have spent Bt200,000 (RM24,878) on the funeral. The office would ask for the family to return the money, possibly in instalments, and Sakhon would be restored to the SSO system, she said.
