Namwongsa was discovered by his 16-year-old son who lived with him after his parents divorced.
The teen revealed his dad had shunned food and was only drinking only beer in the month before his death.
He told police he had tried to cook hot meals for his father every day, but he simply refused to eat anything.
Then one day when the teenager came home from school he found Namwongsa unconscious after suffering a seizure.
Rescue workers from the Siam Rayong Foundation were called to a house in the Ban Chang district of Rayong, Thailand but by the time they arrived the dad-of-one had died.
Paramedics recalled finding over 100 empty beer bottles neatly arranged on the bedroom floor.
A narrow path had been laid out between them to allow the man to get in and out of his bed.
His son said the man started to drink heavily after becoming divorced.
It is suspected that this emotional strain could have led him to replace food with beer.
Namwongsa's cause of death is yet to be confirmed.
An autopsy is set to be performed on the body later this week.
Officials do believe the excessive alcohol consumption is likely to have contributed.
It comes as at least six people died and dozens more were left fighting for their lives after drinking 'rotgut' booze infused with toxic chemicals in Bangkok.
The victims allegedly bought the moonshine spiked with methanol and isopropanol from street stalls.
Soon after, they began suffering dizziness, breathing difficulties, and vomiting - telltale symptoms of alcohol poisoning.

Trans woman smuggled drugs to fund gender reassignment surgery
A transgender drug smuggler attempted to bring £800,000 of cannabis into Britain to fund gender reassignment surgery. Keira Borrett, who was born male but identifies as a woman, agreed to smuggle 26kg of the drug from Thailand in exchange for £10,000 for gender reassignment surgery. Borrett, 46, was jailed for 18 months at Isleworth Crown Court after admitting the offence. The court heard Borrett was discovered with two suitcases filled with vacuum-sealed packs of herbal cannabis at Heathrow Airport in May. Sahra Ali, prosecuting, said Borrett agreed to smuggle the cases for the five-figure sum after meeting a man from Essex in a Bangkok bar during a birthday holiday. The smuggler told police that the pair had a conversation about 'sex change operations and how expensive they were' before two associates of the man proposed Borrett taking two suitcases back to Britain. The 'very heavy' bags were dropped off by men in an SUV before Borrett flew back to Britain on May 23. The men gave instructions to take the bags to a hotel where they would be picked up and the cash handed over. 'She was not under any duress, she did this willingly,' Ms Ali told the court. 'There was an expectation of significant financial advance.' The court heard that Borrett, from Gorleston-on-Sea, Norfolk, claimed to not have known what was in the bags or inspected their contents. Since being arrested, Borrett has been held on remand at HMP Wormwood Scrubs, a male prison in west London. Sebastian Cox, defending, said Borrett should be spared a prison sentence after being forced to 'detransition', stop using female pronouns and wear male clothing at Wormwood Scrubs. 'Every day in prison has been harder for her given her identity,' he said. Mr Cox also interrupted Ms Ali to ask that she use female pronouns when referring to Borrett. 'Miss Borrett identifies as a woman and I'd be grateful if you could address her as such,' he said. 'A very silly decision' Mr Cox admitted that Borrett had shown a 'lack of judgment' by smuggling the drugs but said it was 'out of character' and an 'isolated incident'. 'The offer of money and knowing what it could have done for her life,' he said. 'She made a very silly decision. She is remorseful in the extreme knowing the impact this has had on her family and friends.' But the court was told that Borrett had also visited Thailand a few months earlier. Handing down the 18-month sentence, Recorder Kate Aubrey-Johnson said: 'Although you say it was an impulsive decision, the fact that you had travelled to Thailand before makes me wonder how much credibility I can give to that. 'This is an offence that is prevalent. We know that criminals target individuals to act as couriers. 'As cannabis has been made legal in other parts of the world; it means these criminal operations are now increasingly looking to bring drugs into the UK.'
