19-year-old student in Nakhon Si Thammarat hanged herself after being scammed into making a 20,000-baht online down payment for a non-existent iPhone.
Atiya, 19, a Mathayom 6 student, was found hanging by a rope around her neck, tied to a beam, in her bedroom at the family home on Sunday evening.
Police said stress from being swindled by online scammers drove her to suicide.
Police questioned three close friends of the dead student and her aunt, who lived in the same house. They learned that Atiya had contacted via social media a mobile phone shop which claimed to be in Mae Sai district of Chiang Rai, to buy an iPhone 13 via instalments.
