Family Requests Second Autopsy for Thai National Deceased in Georgia
The family of a Thai man who died in Georgia has requested a detailed autopsy at the Central Institute of Forensic Science in Thailand, citing concerns over potential toxins and insufficient information from foreign authorities.
On August 6, 2026, the family of Mr. Baworntat Pengsuk, also known as 'Hlun Solo,' brought his remains to the Central Institute of Forensic Science under the Thai Ministry of Justice for a secondary, detailed autopsy. The family is seeking clarity regarding the cause of death, which remains uncertain.
According to Khaosod Online, the deceased’s brother, Mr. Somsak Butsri, expressed significant concerns regarding the potential presence of toxic substances in the body. The family remains dissatisfied with the initial findings provided by authorities in Georgia, noting that they received only a death certificate without detailed medical reports or documentation regarding which organ samples were retained. Furthermore, the family reported that while the deceased’s passport and clothing were returned, his camera remains missing.
For residents and travelers, this case highlights the complexities involved in international death investigations and the importance of clear communication between foreign medical authorities and grieving families. The family hopes that a second examination in Thailand will provide a definitive cause of death and allow them to compare findings with the initial reports from Georgia. As of now, the exact cause of death remains unconfirmed, and the family is awaiting the results of the Thai forensic investigation to determine if further legal action is necessary.
