(Bangkok Post and Thai PBS have published differing details about which leg was cut)
The different individuals on the speedboat final Thursday evening when Tangmo drowned in Bangkok’s Chao Phraya River claim the actress had fallen in the water when she had gone to the again of the boat to pee.
Tangmo’s mom has already voiced her opinion that foul play was concerned. Police officers have also been skeptical and have stated they’ll use a lie detector to interrogate the 5 people who had been also on the identical boat at the time.
