Four members of the family died early on Saturday morning in the Suphan Buri province’s Muang region. A four-story business building caught fire.

Around 5am, the police received a report to the fireplace at the tower on Nang Pim Road. It took about two hours to contain the flames thanks to the Muang Suphan Buri Municipality’s fire personnel. &nbsp,

Making it difficult for firefighters to destroy the flame, the tower contained very volatile items like electronics, building materials, electronic gear, and paint.

Authorities identified the house’s owner as Pusit Rungrojchaiyaporn, a former city council representative and a member for a local administrative company.

As firefighters controlled the lights and entered the building, they discovered three body trapped on the second floor and another in the second floor’s stairwell, according to Ekaphan Injai-euar, president of the Muang Suphan Buri Municipality.

The victims were identified as Pusit, 52, his family Kanokwan, 49, their brother Tewarat, 26, and their daughter Warasiri, 24.

According to police, it was believed that the family could not leave in day after the fire broke out, and that the cause of the incident was being investigated by them.
