Thailand’s Princess Bajrakitiyabha Narendira Debyavati, known as Princess Pa, has d!ed at 47 after spending nearly four years in a coma, the royal palace announced Friday.
The princess, the eldest child of King Maha Vajiralongkorn and a likely heir to the throne, d!ed at a Bangkok hospital on Thursday, June 11,  after she fell ill from a heart condition and lost consciousness in December 2022.
“This loss is not merely bad news announced to the people, but an immeasurable grief in the hearts of the entire nation,” Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said in a televised speech.

Bajrakitiyabha collapsed while she was training dogs for a competition in northeastern Thailand. She was airlifted to Bangkok for treatment and remained hospitalized until her de@th.
The palace said that she had suffered a severe heart arrhythmia resulting from inflammation following a mycoplasma infection.
Bajrakitiyabha’s condition worsened due to an intra-abdominal infection, colitis, low blood pressure, arrhythmias, and blood-clotting disorders, the palace statement said.
In April, doctors feared that Bajrakitiyabha’s condition was deteriorating due to the infection, according to Nation Thailand.
Mourners gathered Friday outside Bangkok’s Grand Palace and Chulalongkorn Hospital, where the princess had been treated, to pay their respects, with many holding framed photos and bowing in tribute as news of her death spread across the country.
Born on Dec. 7, 1978, she was the daughter of then-Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn and his first wife, Princess Soamsawali.
She studied law at Thailand’s Thammasat University before earning a master’s and doctorate degrees in law at Cornell Law School in Ithaca, NY, from 2002 to 2005.
Bajrakitiyabha served at Thailand’s mission to the United Nations in New York City from 2005 to 2006 before she returned home to work as a public prosecutor.
