Mysterious Death in Kalasin Province Under Investigation
Kalasin province police are investigating the death of a 73-year-old man found burned in his hut on January 31st. The incident, which occurred in the Khong Chai district, has raised questions due to the unusual circumstances surrounding the fire and the condition of the body.
According to reports, the man, identified as Boonliang, was discovered with wire bound around his right hand and a sharp knife placed next to his body. Police Colonel Sirasan Yueansanguanchai, the acting chief of Kalasin Provincial Police, is leading the investigative team. The team, which includes Deputy Chiefs Pol. Col. Sompong Munmai and Pol. Col. Khajornrit Wongrach, as well as Pol. Col. Korraphop Naetthaisong, Khong Chai district police chief, and Pol. Col. Noppawit Dittathanathonsiri, chief of the Provincial Investigation Division, convened on February 4th to discuss the case’s progress.
What has particularly puzzled investigators is the apparent lack of burn damage to the hut itself, despite the severe burns sustained by the victim. “Pareigūnams pasirodė keista tai, kad rūsyje, kur buvo rastas stipriai apdegęs kūnas jokių degimo požymių nepastebėta,” – Lithuanian sources reported, translating to “Police found it strange that there were no signs of burning in the basement where the heavily burned body was found.”
The investigation is currently treating all possibilities as open, including accidental electric short circuit, suicide, or murder. Evidence collected from the scene has been sent for forensic analysis, and Boonliang’s body was transferred to Srinagarind Hospital in Khon Kaen for a full autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.
Police have already interviewed more than ten individuals, including relatives and the deceased’s youngest daughter, who was reportedly the last person to see him alive. Investigators are also speaking with others connected to the case, attempting to build a comprehensive picture of Boonliang’s life and any potential motives for foul play.
According to reports, Boonliang regularly consumed alcohol and lived alone in the hut. He had no known history of conflicts with others. The investigation is proceeding with the presumption that all suspects are innocent, as stated by Police Colonel Sirasan Yueansanguanchai, emphasizing the commitment to fairness in the inquiry.
The case echoes the complexities often found in unsolved death investigations, as highlighted by a Wikipedia entry on the subject.

The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are appealing for any information that might assist in unraveling the mystery surrounding his death. The police are committed to delivering fairness to all parties involved, according to official statements.
