An unusual case of a missing infant body has occurred in Thailand, sparking public attention. According to reports, Mr. Fang, a Chinese businessman living in Chiang Mai, Thailand, recently went to Rajanives Police Station in Chiang Mai Province to report that the body of his one-month-old son had disappeared without a trace from the hospital’s morgue.
Mr. Fang’s lawyer, Athiphon, said that in November 2025, Mr. Fang’s son was born prematurely by one month at a private hospital in Chiang Mai and required surgery. However, the private hospital did not have the necessary facilities, so the baby was transferred to another large hospital in Chiang Mai. Unfortunately, on November 8, 2025, his son passed away within hours after being transferred, before the surgery could even begin. The forensic doctor then conducted the autopsy according to procedure.
Upon receiving the results, Mr. Fang believed the conclusions did not match the baby's condition when transferred from the first hospital. Therefore, on December 4, 2025, he reported the case to the police, accusing the doctors and medical staff involved of 'negligence resulting in death,' and applied to transfer the body for a second autopsy at the Police General Hospital's Sirikit Forensics Institute in Bangkok. While awaiting the relevant procedures, the baby's body was temporarily stored at the implicated hospital.
After receiving agreement from Sirikit Hospital to conduct the second autopsy, Mr. Fang went to the hospital to collect his son’s body on March 11, only to find that it was missing! After searching for several hours without success and with no explanation provided, he reported the incident to the police that night. Mr. Fang stated that if the body is still not found, he intends to sue the hospital.
Polchai said that all the mentioned information is corroborated by clear documents provided by the hospital. He expressed disbelief that such an incident could happen at a major hospital.
Currently, local police station director Sinothai has revealed that police have ordered an investigation into the matter. The investigation includes coordinating with the hospital to clarify the processes for handling and transporting bodies in order to determine the cause of the disappearance and whether negligence was involved. The hospital already has personnel dedicated to body storage, and police will investigate the relevant personnel according to procedure.
