Bangkok: The Office of Insurance Commission (OIC) confirms that the 5 million baht insurance policy of "Hlun Solo" will protect the rights of the beneficiaries. The OIC is actively coordinating with insurance companies to ensure the rights of beneficiaries of "Hlun Solo" are protected, as it was found that he had travel insurance with coverage of 5 million baht. The insurance company is awaiting the official results of the investigation into the cause of death.
According to Thai News Agency, following the news of the death of Hlun Solo, or Mr. Bowornthat Pengsuk, a well-known YouTuber, in Georgia, and the ongoing official investigation into the cause of death, the Office of the Insurance Commission (OIC) expresses its condolences to the deceased's family. The OIC is promptly investigating insurance matters and coordinating with the relevant insurance companies to ensure that beneficiaries receive full and fair coverage according to the terms of their insurance policies.
Mr. Chuchat Pramoonpol, Secretary-General of the Office of the Insurance Commission (OIC), stated that after the relatives of the deceased gave their consent for the investigation and disclosure of insurance information, the OIC coordinated and verified the information with the relevant insurance company. It was found that the deceased had a travel insurance policy with Sompo Insurance (Thailand) Public Company Limited, covering death due to accident or murder with a sum insured of 5 million baht. This coverage only applies to death due to accident or murder and does not include death due to illness.
Therefore, the consideration of coverage and compensation payments must rely on the official investigation results into the cause of death, along with the terms and conditions of the insurance policy, and facts certified by relevant authorities, to ensure that the decision is accurate, transparent, and fair to all parties.
The Secretary-General of the OIC added that the OIC has been closely coordinating with Sompo Insurance (Thailand) Public Company Limited. The insurance company is currently awaiting the official results of the investigation into the cause of death and the supporting documents for the claim from the beneficiaries. If the investigation confirms that the death was covered under the terms of the insurance policy and the beneficiaries submit all necessary documents, the insurance company will promptly pay the compensation to the beneficiaries according to their rights as stipulated in the insurance policy.
Furthermore, Sompo Insurance (Thailand) Public Company Limited has informed the Office of the Insurance Commission (OIC) that it is ready to assist and cover the costs associated with repatriating the deceased's body to Thailand, even though the autopsy results are not yet complete, in order to alleviate the initial hardship of the deceased's family.
The Office of Insurance Commission (OIC) will closely monitor the operations of insurance companies to ensure that beneficiaries receive compensation in full, fairly, and promptly according to the terms and conditions of their policies. If the public has any questions regarding their insurance rights and benefits, they can contact the OIC or inquire further via the OIC hotline 1186 and the LINE Official Account @OICConnect 'OIC Knowledge.
