His room mate, Saeng, 28, found Somchai’s phone plugged and his earphones were resting across his arm, face, and neck. He initially thought he was sick when he tried waking him up severally but he didn’t move. Saeng then called his boss to inform him about the situation until he later discovered that Somchai was actually dead.
Saeng said: ‘I went to wake him up but he was not moving, so I [was] worried that he might be ill. I contacted our employer but when he came to check, he told me that Somchai was dead.’
He always stays up late concentrating on his phone before he sleeps. Last night when I last saw him alive he was doing that, the same as other nights. He was watching football.’
