A pensioner has tragically died after taking part in a drug-fuelled threesome in central Thailand.
Athipphat Wangsilabat, allegedly injected narcotics into his veins to prepare himself for a marathon sex session with his two lovers.
The 70-year-old was joined by Sombat Sukkhum, 52, and Suwijak Chanputsorn, 38.
After the gay threesome, the trio allegedly collapsed from exhaustion and fell asleep.
The younger men claim hours later they woke up to wash, calling Athipphat to join them in the shower. When he failed to respond, they checked on him, only to find a terrifying scene.
The pensioner was naked and covered in ants.

Cops later arrived at the property in Lopburi, on November 16 after being called just before 10:30pm.
They discovered a Athipphat, stark naked and slumped on a sofa, with a swarm of ants marching across his torso.
Officers said they found no signs of physical assault albeit the horror insect bites: they estimated he had been dead for up to four hours before they arrived at the scene.
Investigators said they were ‘shocked’ when they reviewed the CCTV footage, which allegedly showed the men injecting themselves with drugs and littering the room with used condoms.
Cops seized drug paraphernalia, syringes, a “small amount” of crystal meth, used condoms, and unknown substances suspected to be aphrodisiacs, from the residence.
The pensioner’s lovers were taken to the Mueang Lopburi Police Station for questioning.
Sombat, the homeowner, said he invited Athipphat to travel from Ayutthaya, north of Bangkok to have sex, before later ringing Suwijak to get involved.
He added: “After the threesome, Suwijak and I went to the shower and had sex again before coming out to call Athipphat. But we could not shake him awake. We found he had already died, so we called the police.”
The younger man, Suwijak, denied partaking in a threesome and taking narcotics at the scene, claiming he “did not know what the syringes were for.”
He told the cops: “I finished showering and came out. The homeowner seemed startled and said to check the man. His body seemed cold. I nudged him, but he still wasn’t waking up.
“I asked if he was just sleeping heavily. Sombat asked me to wake him up, but I do not know the deceased that well. I told him to keep trying to shake him awake, and I also tried to help.
“Still, the other man did not wake up or respond to my calls.”
He claimed he was “just visiting” Sombat’s home because he had a row with his girlfriend.
Police Lieutenant Colonel Ekkawit Thongthum of the Mueang Lopburi Police Station said investigations were ongoing as both men had given conflicting accounts.
He said: “We still do not believe their testimonies and will have to wait for the inquiry officer to interrogate them further.
“The officer sent the victim’s body to the Institute of Forensic Medicine for a post-mortem examination to determine his cause of death.”
Elsewhere, a man in China tragically passed while having sex in working hours.
The man in his 60s, referred to just by his surname Zhang, died during the intimate act while working as a security guard.
His death has since been ruled as an industrial accident after it was uncovered that China’s Industrial Injury Insurance Rule states the death of an employee during working hours should be treated as an industrial accident.
