Renegade Thai general, Khattiya Sawasdipol, who was shot on Thursday as he backed protesters in Bangkok, has died, hospital officials have said.
The announcement came amid fresh fighting between the protesters and soldiers after Thai officials rejected a demand for UN-backed talks.
There was gunfire and explosions outside upscale hotels opposite the protesters' fortified encampment.
Thirty-six people have been killed in the violence since Thursday.
