KHON KAEN: Police are trying to shed light on a man found dead near a railway track with a ticket in his hand.
Sanan Uppala, a Ban Phai police investigator, on Tuesday said police are attempting to find the cause of death of Chatbordin Phuwongsa, who was found dead by local residents by the railway line in Ban Phai district at 9.30am.
Chatbordin, 36, was found lying with his face down and the train ticket in one of his hands. The ticket was for rapid train No.78 running from Nong Khai to Bangkok. The train departed Ban Phai at 8.49pm on Monday.
A wallet with cash and an ID card was found on the man's body.
Pol Lt Col Sanan said the man might have accidentally fallen from the train, or might have been attacked before being thrown out of it.
