Initial investigation did not show any signs of struggle and relatives later said the deceased had been coping with a lot of business stress and that they were not suspicious of his death.
According to Khaosod daily, Parithat Poonphol was a famous businessman and was the managing director of both Grand Eastern and Racing Spirit companies with the latter operating a racing business. He was at present building a car racing arena in Chonburi with 4 billion baht.
