Thai Police Investigate Death of Model Sukanya Thawichokkamthon

The investigation into the death of Sukanya Thawichokkamthon has drawn intense scrutiny after her body was recovered from the water in western Thailand. Police and rescue teams were initially alerted when a fisherman spotted the 30-year-old model’s remains drifting near a floating raft on the Kwai River, also known as the Khwae Noi River, in Kanchanaburi province.

Last Movements and Ride-Hailing Trip to Kanchanaburi

Before her death, Sukanya was last seen late at night booking a ride-hailing vehicle to travel to Kanchanaburi, located approximately 120 kilometers west of Bangkok. The driver who transported her told investigators that the model appeared to be searching for someone or something after stepping out of the vehicle in the late hours.

According to multiple reports, authorities noted she may have been intoxicated at the time of the journey. Police officers who arrived at the recovery scene stated there were no obvious signs of assault or physical violence on her body. However, officers discovered a small packet of white powder inside her clothing during the initial inspection.

DNA Confirmation and Family Rejection of Suicide Theories

Because the victim carried no identification documents or personal effects when found, local authorities initially published physical descriptions, clothing details, and hairstyles across media and social platforms to locate her relatives. A woman soon came forward and confirmed to authorities that the deceased was her younger sister. DNA testing conducted with the assistance of her sister and medical teams officially verified her identity as Sukanya Thawichokkamthon.

Investigators are awaiting comprehensive autopsy results to establish the exact cause of death, with findings expected within approximately five days, according to the sources. While authorities treat the case as suspicious, Sukanya’s family has firmly rejected any notion that she died by suicide. Relatives emphasized that she was a dedicated and deeply affectionate mother to her young son, dismissing any suggestion that she would voluntarily abandon her family.
