Popular actor Tridsadee "Por" Sahawong died on Monday morning, five days short of his 38th birthday, after more than two months in a coma brought on by dengue haemorrhagic fever.
He had been comatose for 70 days, since being admitted to Ramathibodi Hospital. He is survived by his wife and their two-year old daughter.
Por had gone through a lengthy treatment as doctors battled to save his life, undergoing several operations. His left foot was amputated above the ankle in late November and his left lung was removed in December.
