In a heart-stopping turn of events, emergency personnel in Nonthaburi found themselves in a surreal moment, as a man thought to be dead, floated lifelessly in a canal, only to cry out for help, bringing the rescue scene to life. The baffling incident instantly had onlookers, including police and volunteers, diving into action to assist the seemingly “risen” man, later unveiled to be a 70-year-old local named Kosem.

It was an ordinary day that took an extraordinary turn. Police officers from Bang Bua Thong station, accompanied by volunteers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation, had rushed to Khlong Lamphu in the Lamphu subdistrict of Bang Bua Thong district, after receiving a report about a body casually bobbing beneath a bridge on Highway 9. The distress call had been placed by a local fisherman, who, along with his companion, was shocked to discover what they presumed was a deceased man, drifted near the edge of the canal with his head softly pillowed against a sturdy concrete block.

The scene was a solemn one, with a chilling presence of silence as responders observed the man. His face bore marks of blood and wounds—an ominous sign that pointed to a fatal incident. The assumption was grim, and preparations were underway to recover what was believed to be a lifeless body from the murky waters.

Then, like something straight out of a movie, the story twisted dramatically. An officer, in a seemingly routine maneuver to nudge the concrete block, was met with an astonishing surprise. The man sprang back to consciousness with an urgent shout, “Help me!” It was a resurrection that took everyone off-guard—a blend of disbelief and relief echoed through the air. Rescuers sprang into frenzied action, swiftly working to pull the alive and breathing Kosem from the water’s clutches.

Once safely brought ashore, Kosem, slightly disoriented but recuperating, revealed the series of events leading to this near-miss tragedy. He recounted how he had fainted on his way home, an innocent stumble that sent him plunging into the canal. His fall was mere misfortune, with his injuries deemed non-life-threatening. Medical personnel on-site gave him a thorough examination before escorting him to Bang Bua Thong Hospital for additional care, as relayed by the Bangkok Post.

The miraculous turn of events has raised eyebrows and spirits alike. What initially seemed a sorrowful tale of accidental drowning has transformed into a miraculous tale of survival, leaving rescuers and witnesses in awe of this second lease on life. For Kosem, it was more than a close shave with fate—it was a reminder of life’s unpredictability and resilience.

This latest escapade in Nonthaburi adds another fascinating layer to the vibrant tapestry of news weaving through Thailand. With everything from heated political drama, compelling crime stories, to audacious tales of rescue and revival, it seems Thailand is living up to its reputation as a land of remarkable stories and even more remarkable people. Let us hold hope that tales like Kosem’s continue to remind us all of the precious nature of life and the surprising ways it can unfold, one unexpected cry for help at a time.

    This story is just unbelievable! It’s like a real-life miracle. I’m thankful he’s okay.

    • Mark42 June 12, 2025

      Yeah, but let’s not dismiss the possibility of some serious misreporting or dramatization. News can be blown out of proportion sometimes.

      • Anna_Louise June 12, 2025

        That’s true, Mark. But coming back from the ‘dead’ is just something you don’t often hear about!

  2. Jessica June 12, 2025

    Can’t help but think how terrifying it must have been for Kosem. Imagine waking up in water after fainting!

  3. OldTimer88 June 12, 2025

    Back in my days, we knew how to swim and avoid such accidents. There’s a lesson to be learned here, folks!

    • CityKid23 June 12, 2025

      Not everyone can be great swimmers, and sometimes freak accidents happen regardless!

      • OldTimer88 June 12, 2025

        Sure, I get that. But caution and skill can prevent many misadventures.

  4. Maya P June 12, 2025

    Why aren’t we questioning the safety measures on such places? Kosem isn’t the first to have an accident here.

    • JohnDoe June 12, 2025

      Absolutely! It’s up to local authorities to ensure such places don’t turn into death traps.

      • Maya P June 12, 2025

        True, but community vigilance is just as important.

  5. CrimsonHeart June 12, 2025

    I don’t believe in miracles, but this certainly tests my skepticism.

    • Believer87 June 12, 2025

      Open your mind! Sometimes science can’t explain everything, and miracles do happen.

      • CrimsonHeart June 12, 2025

        Maybe, though I’d say this is just a fortunate coincidence.

  6. Leo G June 12, 2025

    Rescuers did a splendid job, hats off to them!

    • Tina_Boop June 12, 2025

      Exactly, but let’s not forget that initial misidentification. Training issues?

      • Leo G June 12, 2025

        Mistakes happen, but important thing is they responded quickly once the situation changed.

    • Jake June 12, 2025

      I agree, quick response saved him. Credit to their dedication!

  7. CountryGirl_55 June 12, 2025

    Is anyone else bothered by the fact that he was discovered just by chance? What if no one spotted him?

    • Greg W June 12, 2025

      You raise a valid point. It highlights how fragile life can be.

      • CountryGirl_55 June 12, 2025

        Yes, we need better measures in place to prevent such scary close calls.

  8. Sammy_J June 12, 2025

    Kosem’s story is a reminder of how unpredictable life is. Hold your loved ones close!

  9. OceanPride June 12, 2025

    Wonderful ending. But seriously, someone should place warning signs or railings there!

    • TonyT June 12, 2025

      Honestly, if there’s funding! Usually, these safety installations aren’t prioritized till something tragic happens.

      • OceanPride June 12, 2025

        That’s the sad truth, public safety should never be an afterthought!

  10. Linda M June 12, 2025

    What a tale to tell his grandchildren! Definitely a one for the books.

  11. HistoryBuff June 12, 2025

    Couldn’t this be reported more as a near-drowning rescued rather than resurrection? Headlines can be misleading.

    • SmartAlec June 12, 2025

      Clickbait is the name of the game nowadays. You’re not wrong.

      • HistoryBuff June 12, 2025

        A shame, but I guess drama does sell!

  12. GreenLeaf June 12, 2025

    I’m so relieved he’s alive. Guardian angels must’ve been watching over him.

  13. TechSavvyJon June 12, 2025

    Wearable tech could alert paramedics sooner. We have the technology for it!

    • Liam June 12, 2025

      Not everyone uses tech, some old folks barely have cell phones!

      • TechSavvyJon June 12, 2025

        True, but it’s worth promoting especially among the elderly community.
