The mother of late Thai actress Nida Patcharaveerapong (Tangmo) is demanding a second autopsy, to be performed by the Justice Ministry’s Central Institute of Forensic Science.
Nida's mother, Panida Sirayuthyothin, and her lawyer express suspicion about wounds on Nida's body and seek clarity, urging media support for their request.
The lawyer plans to appear on a TV show with the Justice Minister and submit a formal letter requesting the second autopsy.
Public demonstrators are also calling for justice and a transparent investigation into Nida’s fatal fall from a speedboat, suspecting foul play rather than an accident.

Thai MP Suchada Zhang Thaensap faces intense scrutiny over her husband’s substantial 1.84 billion baht wealth, with opposition lawmakers alleging connections to international scam networks.
A significant portion of her husband, Taiyang Zhang's, declared assets includes a 1.44 billion baht loan to the now-bankrupt cryptocurrency hedge fund Three Arrows Capital, which still owes him 1.34 billion baht.
Opposition MP Rangsiman Rome accused Suchada's husband of links to online scam networks and gambling sites, prompting Suchada to vehemently deny the claims, demand evidence, and file a defamation complaint.
Taiyang Zhang's background includes co-founding Ren Protocol, later sold to Alameda Research (linked to the FTX collapse), and some of his former associates have been convicted in crypto company failures.
Suchada, a former actress and first-time MP, maintains her husband's innocence, while her party leaders have distanced themselves from the allegations, deeming it a private matter.
