4-year-old dies at
South Pattaya nursery school
Teerarak Suthathiwong
A 4-year-old boy died after accidentally strangling himself with the handle
from a hammock.
Rapheephat Mhaeykhobklaang had been playing with another young child Aug. 27
at the Wat Chaimongkol Child Development Center. The two were spinning the
bed and, as they did, the handle wrapped around young Nong Model’s neck and
he suffocated.
His playmate ran to call nursery school staff, but they were unable to
revive him. The boy was pronounced dead at Pattaya Memorial Hospital.
Funeral services were held at Wat Nong-O in central Pattaya, with mourning
family members joined by staff of nursery school and Jintana Maensurin,
director of the Pattaya Education Department.
Police are investigating the circumstances of the boy’s death and whether
the school should be held responsible for negligence.
