Forensic examination confirmed actress Nida Patcharaveerapong (Tangmo) died by drowning, noting a deep leg cut potentially caused by a boat propeller, though the cause of her fall remains undetermined.
Police expressed disbelief in the statements provided by the five friends on the boat, collecting their clothes and DNA, and investigating 5-7 day old wounds on one friend, 'Job,' which were not caused by fingernails.
Experts confirmed sand in Nida's lungs, indicating she was breathing when she fell into the river, and suggested the severe leg laceration could have significantly limited her ability to help herself, while police continue to analyze the boat's GPS data.
