BANGKOK, June 14 (TNA) – The Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital announced singer and actress Butsaran Thongchiew, aka Numtarn The Star 5, passed away due to her swollen brain.
Dr Prasit Wattanapa, dean of the faculty, said that Numtarn died at 2.17am after her conditions turned serious yesterday evening.
There was no more bleeding but the death resulted from her swollen brain. That happened although doctors did their best to take care of her, he said.
The faculty announced yesterday that the case of Numtarn was rare in the world and doctors were still unable to find the cause of the bleeding. They based treatments on her conditions. With her family’s permission, the hospital would study her body for the sake of new medical knowledge.
Numtarn was first sent to Samut Sakhon Hospital at noon on June 11 as she coughed up considerable blood through her nose and mouth and had breathing difficulties and her heart stopped, thus requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitations (CPRs). Later she was referred to Siriraj Hospital. (TNA)
