A father-of-one was found dead by his son – surrounded by bottles after only drinking beer for a month.
Thaweesak Namwongsa, 44, from Ban Chang district of Rayong, Thailand, suffered a seizure and passed away before paramedics could save him.
The divorcee had refused food in the month before his death, choosing instead to only drink beer.
He was discovered in his room by his 16-year-old son who had been living with him since his parents divorced.
The teenager revealed he had tried to feed his father – cooking hot meals every day – but Mr Namwongsa simply would not stomach anything.
The youngster told police that he came home from school one day and found his father unconscious after suffering a seizure.
Rescue workers from the Siam Rayong Foundation were called to a house in the Ban Chang district of Rayong, Thailand but by the time they arrived Mr Namwongsa had tragically died.
Paramedics found more than 100 empty beer bottles littering the floor of the father-of-one’s bedroom with narrow paths laid out to allow the father to get in and out of bed.
His son explained that he had started to drink heavily after his divorce.
Mr Namwongsa’s cause of death is yet to be confirmed.
An autopsy is set to be performed on the body later this week but officials believe that excessive alcohol consumption is likely to have contributed to his tragic death.
