Veterinarians from Sattahip’s Sea Turtle Conservation Center were called to Somprasong Beach in Najomtien’s Moo 3 village on July 22. Vet Kirin Sorapitatcharoen confirmed the death of the eight-kilogram reptile, which measured 41 centimeters long. It had been dead about a week and its shell was broken from decomposition. An autopsy determined that the turtle died from eating garbage, including plastic bags, which turtles confuse for jellyfish.
