Khaosod Online Thailand One source

A 42-year-old investigator for the National Anti-Corruption Commission died after a firearm discharged while he was cleaning it at his home in Nonthaburi.

On November 7, 2026, local authorities in Bang Bua Thong, Nonthaburi, responded to a fatal shooting incident at a private residence. According to Khaosod Online, the victim, a 42-year-old investigator employed by the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), was found deceased on the ground floor of his home. Preliminary reports indicate that the man was cleaning a magazine-fed firearm when it accidentally discharged, striking him in the chest. His wife, who was upstairs with their child at the time, discovered the scene after hearing the gunshot and attempted to perform CPR, but the victim could not be revived. Police, along with forensic medical examiners and rescue volunteers, arrived at the scene to conduct an investigation. The presence of cleaning equipment near the firearm suggests the incident was an accident. While this event is a tragic personal matter, it serves as a reminder of the inherent risks associated with handling firearms, particularly within residential settings. Authorities have not yet released a final report confirming the exact circumstances of the discharge, and the investigation remains ongoing to ensure all procedural protocols were followed.
