BANGKOK: A Buddhist monastery in Thailand is under investigation after authorities discovered more than 40 bodies on site which were allegedly used for meditation practices, police said Sunday.
Forty-one cadavers were found at Pa Nakhon Chaibovorn monastery in Thailand’s Phichit province on Saturday (Nov 24), a senior police officer told AFP.
“The bodies were accompanied with death and body donation certificates,” he said, adding that so far no charges have been filed.
He said police were reaching out to relatives of the deceased to confirm that the bodies were donated willingly.
“We are trying to make sure that none of the dead bodies were stolen,” said the officer who requested anonymity.
