Meanwhile, relatives of the deceased arrived to inquire about the incident. Upon receiving the police report, the relatives looked stressed and had tears in their eyes. They reported that Mr. Mipapat had been in a relationship with the deceased for decades and had 3 children together. Police cordoned off the area for more than 3 hours until midnight.

Asked locals in the area, they said that at 11:00 AM, they saw this car parked in the middle of the road with a man getting out of the car. So they went to ask him to move the car to avoid traffic. Then the man moved the car to park on the right side of the road and parked with the engine running from 11:00 AM until 7:00 PM. It is expected that the car may have run out of gas, causing it to stop on its own. Then someone called the police to come and investigate. Initially, the police found the body of a woman, believed to be the man's wife, dead in the car. But at that time, they did not know the cause of death.
