Phothong district police in Ang Thong province were alerted of the incident by an elementary school administrator yesterday that a Grade 4 level boy student was electrocuted by the water cooler.
 Investigation revealed that the boy was electrocuted after he plugged the cooler to a power source to make it function. As he touched the cooler, he was electrocuted.

They were told that the cooler was out of order for some time and the boy connected it to the power outlet herself. This is where the school showed negligence the cooler should have been removed from the school.

But police said they would find out why this cooler was placed alongside the good one despite it did not work and leaked electricity. They would decide if it was the carelessness of the school to put them closer together though the leaked cooler was disconnected to power source.
