Horror as man is found dead in Thai internet cafe
A 42-year-old man has been found dead at an internet cafe in eastern Thailand after spending the night gaming alone. Jirakrit Ruangsri, a regular at the Chonburi cafe, arrived on Saturday evening with snacks and soft drinks, settling in for what appeared to be a routine night of online gaming and movie watching. In the early hours of Sunday morning, Jirakrit was seen resting with his head on his arm, and staff assumed he had simply fallen asleep. But when the cafe manager arrived around 6am and tried to wake him, it became clear that something was wrong. Emergency services were called with police arriving at the scene just after 7am. Jirakrit was found unresponsive, slumped over in a gaming chair in front of a powered-off computer. Police Captain Itsaraphong Suwannajak of the Laem Chabang district station said: 'The deceased is estimated to have been dead for more than six hours because his body was already stiff. No signs of assault were found. 'Police inspected his motorcycle and found multiple appointment slips from Chonburi Hospital under his name. They were appointments to discuss heart surgery.' A preliminary search revealed no suspicious items were found in his possession. On his desk was a bottle of water, a can of soft drink, snacks, herbal inhalers, and a set of motorcycle keys. His backpack contained clothing, medications and hospital documents indicating he had been receiving treatment for a heart condition, including upcoming surgery at Chonburi Hospital. Cafe employee Pongamorn Donprai, 25, said Jirakrit visited the cafe almost daily to relax. 'That night, he came in, sat down and spent around two hours alone watching movies and listening to music, while playing a game,' he said. 'At around midnight, I saw that he had fallen asleep, so I went to wake him up. He was still breathing and I thought he was just tired so I let him rest. 'But when the manager arrived to clean at around 6am, we saw him lying facedown. He wouldn't wake up no matter how much we shook him. It turned out he was already dead.' Staff said Jirakrit often chatted with them about his life and revealed that he had been suffering from heart disease. He was described as friendly and generous, occasionally bringing them gifts. Jirakrit's body was taken to Laem Chabang hospital for a post-mortem to confirm the cause of death.

Serie A star Joan Gonzalez forced to retire aged just 23 with rare heart condition after club doctor ‘saved his life'
SERIE A star Joan Gonzalez has been forced to retire aged 23 due to a heart condition. The former Barcelona academy starlet joined Lecce from the Catalan giants in 2021. 2 Gonzalez did not feature last season, after a congenital heart condition was detected in the summer of 2024. Following recent further tests, the midfielder was forced to hang up his boots. Explaining the situation, club president Sticchi Damiani said: "He will not receive medical clearance. "The season began, unfortunately, with a major obstacle: the bad news about Joan Gonzalez, who failed his medical. "We called him back after a year for a new check-up, which took place a few days ago, and the situation remains the same." Damiani was then full of praise for Lecce's medical staff. The Italian continued: "A round of applause to our medical team, to Dr. Tondo, because they detected a congenital condition that is very difficult to diagnose. "It's a case study. Thanks to that, the boy's life was saved." Damiani also gushed over Gonzalez's professionalism and ability. The Lecce chief added: "He has faced it with a balance, serenity and intelligence that make us think he would have been a great footballer." Damiani then admitted that he believes Gonzalez will become a "great manager". The Spaniard played 66 times for Lecce's first team, scoring twice. Gonzalez's final appearance came on May 26, 2024 - in his side's 0-0 draw with Napoli on the final day of the 2023-24 season.
