A father and his daughter died after eating a Thai curry made with deadly mushrooms in Chiang Rai, Thailand.

Boonpan, 78, and his 40-year-old daughter, Wijitra, collapsed at home on August 22 after consuming the poisonous meal.

Relatives were horrified when Boonpan began foaming at the mouth and convulsing violently.

They rushed to Wijitra's locked bedroom and found her unconscious. They were both taken to the hospital but were later pronounced dead.

Police Captain Boonchuay Kanthawong from Mae Chan Police Station went to Mae Chan Hospital to investigate.
