Bangkok: A father is worried that he will not receive justice after losing his two children when 'Tik Shiro' drove his car off a bridge in the Sai Mai area of Bangkok. The incident occurred on October 10, 2014.
According to Thai News Agency, the case involves Mr. Sirisak Nanthasen, also known as Tik Zero, a 63-year-old famous singer, who was driving a Hyundai van that collided with a motorcycle. This accident led to the death of Ms. Thianporn, aged 28, and caused Mr. Jakkraphat, aged 21, to fall from a 10-meter high bridge, resulting in severe injuries. The incident took place on Theparak Road, Sai Mai District, Bangkok, on October 10, 2024.
Recently, Mr. Jirawat, the father of the deceased, disclosed that his youngest son, Mr. Jakkraphat, succumbed to his injuries after 70 days of treatment, passing away on January 18. Despite receiving some assistance, Mr. Jirawat expressed concerns about the agreed compensation, noting discrepancies and delays in the process. He fears that justice may not be served, having already lost two children.
Mr. Jirawat explained that he was in the process of preparing documents for his son's body for religious ceremonies. After being in the hospital for 70 days, Jakkraphat was moved to a convalescent center on December 22, 2024. Although his condition initially improved, he remained unconscious, requiring intensive medical care. An emergency doctor's visit revealed a lung infection, but the exact cause of death awaits confirmation from a forensic autopsy.
During Jakkraphat's recovery, Tik Zero visited the hospital several times and contributed financial assistance for funeral and hospital-related expenses. However, Mr. Jirawat noted the lack of a conclusive compensation agreement. Discussions with Tik Zero in late October 2024 did not yield the promised follow-up, leaving Mr. Jirawat uncertain about the outcome.
On January 13, police were set to forward the case to prosecutors due to unresolved compensation negotiations, as Tik Zero was represented by a delegate rather than attending in person. The proposed compensation, involving a plot of land valued at 4-5 million baht, was deemed unacceptable by Mr. Jirawat due to uncertainties surrounding its value and saleability. He rejected the offer, stating that the funds would not sustain the family long-term.
Following his son's death, Mr. Jirawat has not communicated with Tik Zero and hopes for reconsideration of compensation terms. He expressed skepticism about Tik Zero's intentions, citing inconsistencies between public statements and actions. Should compensation remain unresolved, Mr. Jirawat intends to pursue legal action but welcomes Tik Zero's presence at the funeral.
In the meantime, Junior's father is coordinating with authorities to obtain necessary documentation, aiming to establish the cause of death. The funeral for Jakkraphat is set to take place at Wat Phra Sri Mahathat, Bang Khen, with ceremonies scheduled from January 19-21, followed by cremation on January 22.
