Porntip has been assigned to look into the containers after they caught the media spotlight and rumours spread that the bodies of those who died in the Black May incident were inside. The Black May incident referred to a bloody crackdown on prodemocracy protesters in Bangkok 17 years ago. After the turmoil ended, dozens of protesters never returned home and were feared dead.
