Police are investigating why a homeless man found dead in Central Pattaya died.
The body of the unidentified man in his 40s was discovered outside the For You Pharmacy on Central Road Nov. 3. It was estimated he had been dead about two or three hours.
A bottle of water, his shoes, a pack of cigarettes, a lighter and several milk bottles were found near the body.
Witnesses said they had seen the man a day earlier. He looked like he was having problems with his stomach and fell down several times, they said.
Nearby residents told the police that the man was homeless and seen walking in the area every day. He was a good man and never caused any trouble and some people gave him water and food from time to time.
The residents also got together to collect 3,000 baht cash to give to the police, which will help cover the expenses to purchase a coffin as a way of making merit.
