"A bomb exploded opposite of King Power firm in Soi Rangnam in Phaya Thai district early Friday morning, injuring a man. The explosion happened at 1.30am in front of a house which is opposite the firm. Police has not yet identified the injured man who was rushed to nearby Rajvithiee Hospital.

Police and rescue workers who rushed to the scene had to wait for 20 minutes before rescuing the man out of fear that there would be hidden explosives. Police believed that the explosive was hidden in a plastic black bag in a garbage bin. The injured man was a trash collector, his three-wheeled vehicle was left parking near the bin."

Reading between the lines of the limited reports on his medical condition, it looks like the street person who was injured going through the garbage when the bomb exploded, is basically dead but life supports are being used to keep him "alive." The way the medical system usually works with poor street people, you got to speculate if he's being kept alive just to keep it from being reported in the world press as a second death from a second Bangkok bomb.
