A cheerleader in Thailand died after she has been punished to run laps in sweltering heat as punishment for making a mistake during a dance routine.

The girl, whose nickname was Mint, have made a few mistakes during her routine and was allegedly given a punishment for stepping out of place a few times.

A day after she was admitted to the intensive care unit, Phornphiphat’s heart stopped and medic were unable to revive her. Police are now doing an investigation on the student’s death.

Lieutenant Colonel Chana Suthimat, investigating officer from Phuket City Police, said they were looking into whether the death was due to “an accident or negligence”.

Kanong Eaddam, 43, Phornphipat’s grieving father said:

“We drove to the hospital and found my daughter was already in intensive care.

“She could not make it, she later died after she had been given CPR,”.

University dean Theerapong Noochaikaew said it was waiting for the investigation to be completed.

He added: “We need to wait for the post-mortem examination, and during this time we will question more witnesses.

He continued: “The finding of the inquiry will be made public later.”

Dr. Hiran Prasankarn, President Professor Assistant, said the university will give 100,000 Baht (£2,420) to Phornphinat’s family to be used for funeral expenses.

“We did not ignore the incident. We need to investigate the truth about the student’s death,” said Dr. Prasankarn.
