Odditycemtral.com reported that the family then travelled to the Phra Nakhon district of Bangkok, where they received a death certificate and later went to pick up the body from the Faculty of Medicine Vajira Hospital of Navamindradhiraj University.

The said corpse was reportedly difficult to identify due to the supposed stomach disorder, but apparently, left with no option, the family took the body home and cremated it after performing all the necessary rites according to their customs.

However, interestingly, Sakorn returned home on December 17, after quitting the fishing job to visit his family.

The family could hardly believe he was still alive, as all they knew was that Sakorn had died and was duly cremated.

They did everything including touching, just to verify that Sakorn was a real human being standing before them.
