Nonthaburi: The family received the body of a Myanmar woman, a victim of the State Audit Office building collapse, for cremation at Wat Bang Muang, Nonthaburi Province. As for the remaining three bodies, no relatives have contacted to claim them.
According to Thai News Agency, relatives of Ms. Seinsein Nyunt, a Myanmar national who died in the ninth case, traveled to the Police General Hospital's Institute of Forensic Medicine, which is the center for identifying people after the earthquake in Myanmar that caused the building in the new Office of the Auditor General (OAG) construction project in Chatuchak to collapse on March 28, 2025. Relatives and colleagues traveled to contact to receive the body for religious rites at Wat Bang Muang, Bang Yai District, Nonthaburi Province, where the cremation will take place today (April 5, 2025).
The relatives explained to the officers the reason for the delay in contacting to receive the body because in the past, the relatives had already contacted the Personal Identification Center to confirm that they were really relatives of the deceased. They had verified the information and coordinated with the Myanmar Embassy in Thailand. They then contacted a temple in Nonthaburi Province because it was close to their residence, which was a labor camp where many Myanmar people were staying. Therefore, they took the body back to the temple for cremation before taking the remains back to Myanmar.
Of the 15 deceased from this incident, 12 have been contacted by relatives to claim the bodies, leaving 3 more. Two of them are still unknown, while the other is a Burmese national whose relatives have not yet contacted to claim the bodies.
