Thailand's Princess Bajrakitiyabha, who has been in a coma for more than three years, has died, the royal household has announced. She was 47.
In December 2022 the Princess had been hospitalised following a collapse while out walking her dogs on December 14.
Her doctors attributed it to a severely irregular heartbeat, caused by a mycoplasma infection in her heart. She was the eldest of King Vajiralongkorn's seven children, born on 7 December 1978 to his first wife and cousin, Princess Soamsawali.
According to BBC "The medical team provided the closest and most intensive care possible, but her condition continued to decline progressively," the palace said in a statement on Friday morning, adding that she passed away at 19:48 local time (12:48 GMT) the previous day in Chulalongkorn Hospital.
