According to the Royal Thai Police’s Crisis Victim Identification Center, 33 people have been found since the SAO building collapsed in the most recent disaster.
The goal is to find out who the systems are and give their bones to their families for religious ceremonies, according to Pol Maj Gen Wathee Assawutmangkul, a spokeswoman for the Office of Police Forensic Science.
To compare the information that the center has collected on missing people and DNA samples from 97 friends to the bones that have been delivered to the Office of Police Forensic Science, the center has collected information on missing people and examples from 97 relatives. He claimed that the confirmation process includes biometric analysis, medical records, DNA, and physical characteristics.
41 systems and 96 system parts were submitted for criminal running between March 29 and March 30.
42 cases have so far been scanned into the system, leading to 33 confirmed identifiers, including 22 Thai citizens, 10 Myanmar nationals, and one Thai. People have been informed, and plans are being made for the burial’s remains to be released.
The investigative procedure includes combining body parts with DNA and matching prints. He said that DNA recovery will require an additional 1 to 2 days for evaluation and comparison with family records because bone samples are being used for the extraction process. ” In the beginning, biometric identification made systems available the same day. All components must now be reconstructed before being released, he said, according to degradation and the growing number of divided remains.
Authorities are working with the Myanmar Embassy to obtain DNA examples in Myanmar for more testing for some unauthorized migrant workers.
In some circumstances, families are gathering their loved ones while others are still encased in dust.
Two people showed up on Thursday to gather remains. One of them was Wittaya Sitsri’s 36-year-old family, Ms. Boonsong Muansuk, 73.
She claimed that while she remained in Si Sa Ket state, her brother had been employed in Bangkok for a number of years. The pair last saw each other at the New Year’s Eve events in early 2024.
She claimed that her brother had been employed by the fell company for a month. Her family initially withheld the announcement from her, and she only learned about it through neighbors. She claimed to be eagerly awaiting news and hadn’t eaten or slept. Officers called her brother’s birthday on Monday, confirming that his body had been discovered in the dust.
She would deliver her brother’s remains to their home in the northern province for burial at Wat Phothinimit in Thon Buri district before disposing of his remains at the funeral home.
On the lookout for
The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration ( BMA ), spokesman Ekwaranyu Amrapal, stated that the recused operation’s main goal has always been to lower the height of the debris in the collapsed building.
As of yesterday morning, the dust height has decreased from more than 26 meters to 12.45 meters. To facilitate simultaneous operations at various points, the strategy has been changed so that volunteer teams, defense personnel, and BMA staff can now be deployed to cut steel structures quickly using gas torches.
Secondly, there have been more trucks moving dirt since Thursday, increasing the number of trips per day from the usual 100 to the new 140, which has increased from 14 to 22. We made off to 300 journeys on Thursday to move dust, he said.
He said that places may be set up to store the dust.
First difficulties, according to Suriyachai Rawiwan, director of the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation, were caused by the building’s metallic framework, but progress has been made with the use of gas lights at various points.
The present challenge is making room for further rubble from ongoing operations by quickly removing the steel and concrete particles. Nevertheless, the procedure is proceeding as planned, with the goal of implementation by the end of this month, he said.
The recovery mission had identified 44 lifeless bodies and nine injured people as of Friday, with 50 others still unaccounted for.
According to him, the BMA’s Health Department has sent staff from the Chatuchak District Office, Environmental Health Office, and Public Health Disease Control Office to the blog to check public health and environmental value.
The Public Health Disease Control Office has treated stagnant water with calcium chloride before letting it enter public spaces.
Additionally, they applied herbicides to kill flies and mosquitoes, and they added larvicide to stop mosquitoes breeding. He said these actions will be in effect from May through every Wednesday and Saturday.
The Environmental Health Office is taking surface water specimens close to the fell developing and monitoring and testing the earth.
They will work with the Drainage and Sewerage Department to gather wastewater samples for bacteriological study, and with the Pollution Control Department to conduct a heavy metal contamination check.
continued research
According to Pol Maj Gen Noppasin Poonsawat, Deputy Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Bureau ( MPB), police have interrogated 117 people in the ongoing investigation into the collapse site of SAO.
Those questioned include those who were injured survivors, witnesses, relatives of the deceased, SAO authorities, and representatives from companies involved in design, development, and job supervision.
Results are pending after forensic teams from the Department of Public Works and Town &, Country Planning, and the Department of Special Investigation ( DSI) have taken 193 steel bars and 36 concrete samples from the site for analysis.
As well as those who approved the design documents, summonses have been issued to those in charge of the property’s design, development, and project guidance. He said that three manufacturers have now testified, and two more are anticipated.
On April 21, Patiwat Sirithai, a big shareholder of PN Synchroline Company and a part of the PKW shared venture contracted by the SAO for building care, will be deposed.
According to Pol Maj Gen Noppasin, authorities are collaborating closely with criminal and executive experts to determine the cause of the collapse.
