Boy, 2, drowns in pool while OnlyFans model mum posed for photoshoot
A two-year-old boy drowned in a villa swimming pool while his OnlyFans model mother partied with friends for a photoshoot inside the house.
Chawanakon Hancharoenpanna was taken with his 26-year-old mother, Wiyada Pontawee, and her photographer husband to the house in Pattaya, Thailand, on Valentine's Day.
Several other adult models were also understood to have attended the party, which also doubled as a photoshoot.
Wiyada, whose nickname is 'Soda', posed in front of the pool in a black bikini earlier in the day.
The two-year-old, along with his younger brother and another child, were also pictured splashing around in the pool.
Photos show a party inside the villa with guests eating grilled prawns and drinking bottles of whisky.
Tragically, Chawanakon – who was just two days away from his third birthday – drowned in the pool later that evening while his mother was working inside having her pictures and video taken.
She regularly poses in explicit images for OnlyFans and other adult platforms where she charges followers.
The toddler's father heard him struggling in the water and emergency services were called at 10pm.
Paramedics arrived and performed CPR on the boy, and he was taken to hospital before being declared dead later that evening.
Speaking after his death, devastated Wiyada said: "I'm heartbroken. I don't want to live anymore. I am praying to bring my son back to life."
'He was choking': Boy's dad recalls drowning
The boy's father Pongrit Hancharoenpanna told paramedics who arrived at the scene he and his wife were working when the accident happened.
Speaking in the video from the scene, he says: "I was working when it happened. Then I heard the sound from the water and saw my boy in the pool. He was choking, so I jumped in to help him but it was too late."
A spokesman for the Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan Rescue Service said they received a report of a child drowning in critical condition in a pool villa house, in the upmarket Pratumnak area of Pattaya City.
"At the scene, the father and mother carried the body of a two-year-old boy and asked for help at the entrance of the villa," they added.
"Rescue workers tried to help and pumped the heart to try and save his life. His father and mother were weeping and crying not far away, before the officers urgently transported the child to the hospital.
"Initially, the medical team provided the best assistance but were unable to save the child's life."
The service warned parents to watch their children closely when they take them to visit pools to prevent accidents.
Police have not started an investigation into the death.
