The Thailand entertainment fraternity was shaken following the reported death of a young singer who passed away after allegedly getting a neck-twisting massage.

According to reports, the activity, which is understood to have been improperly and aggressively executed, resulted in popular local singer Phing Chyada suffering a herniated spine disk in her neck.

Speaking to local media, Chyada’s mother recalled that her daughter opted for the service after experiencing shoulder pain a couple of months before. Deciding to go to a local massage studio instead of having a medical check at a hospital.

Chyada began to share her discomfort with concerns online following her session, which she played down the severity.

“I don’t know where to start. Many people have asked me what happened. I went for a massage at a place in Udon Thani,” Phing Chyada wrote on Facebook on November 6. “Before the massage, my symptoms were that only my shoulders were sore. When I first got a massage, my symptoms were normal. Two days later, I started to have pain in the back of my neck. I thought it was just normal pain from the massage.”

She later updated fans following a shock return for the service, according to reports, which ultimately worsened what was deemed a harmless feeling of unease.

“Right now, I can’t use half my body,” Phing wrote on Facebook. “I’m telling you this because many people have asked me. I want to leave this as a lesson for anyone who really likes massage. I will recover. I’m in so much pain. I want to work now, but right now I’m just waiting for the right time. Thank you for reading to the end. I want to reply to chats, I want to reply to everyone’s comments, but I can’t. I move with cramps all the time. I’m bedridden and can’t help myself. Thank you for all the encouragement.”

Her passing was announced shortly after by the Thai Facebook page Drama Addict, which noted that doctors diagnosed her death was due to neck-related complications, local media reported.
