An honours degree student at Chulalongkorn University may have committed suicide yesterday after growing upset about her cosmetic surgery.
The body of Benyapa Senachan, 22, was found in her bedroom on the second floor of her two-storey house on Naknivas Road in the Lat Phrao area.
Family members found the woman, in a T-shirt and short jeans, hanging from a belt from a curtain rail, police said.
Her relatives told police Benyapa had undergone cosmetic surgery on her nose, chin and lips in April and often complained to them that her close friends did not like her new appearance.
Police suspected the woman may have felt depressed about the outcome of her cosmetic surgery and that it possibly had driven her to take her own life.
She had confided to friends that she was not satisfied with her new lips, Pol Lt Col Jirawat Yodkrahom, chief investigator at Chokechai police station, said.
She told her family she wanted to die so she could be reborn with new lips.
Her family said Benyapa had recently graduated with a 2nd class honours degree in dramatic arts from Chulalongkorn University's faculty of arts. She was to take part in a graduation ceremony next month.
Her family said she had come downstairs in the morning for a drink before returning to her room. At noon, a family member knocked on her door and called her to lunch, but there was no response. The family found her hanging from the rail. They tried to cut the belt but she was dead already. Police said she probably died three to four hours before
