Oerjan (Ørjan) Lea Fredriksen, 44, From Norway, Found Dead at River 108 Boutique Hotel

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

They are actually both identical and written by the same journalist...Usual report of such deaths. Foreigner checked in on the 12th, came and went as guests do, on the day of the 28th hotel called up to the room to ask if they could clean...no reply, open the door, found dead. Forensics show heart attack caused by over dose of methamphetamine.

The headline and leading paragraph are interesting:

Because of Over Use of Drugs Another Foreigner Dies in a Duan Penh Guesthouse


Due to the freedom to use drugs without culpability in guesthouses and hotels big and small, another foreigner has died from a drug overdose....

I guess so many westerners are dying in Cambodian guesthouses every day that all the journalists have decided to use a template that they can all just share.

This is the exact same story again and again, and all they need to do is change 3 data points: deceased's name, date and hotel name.

Hell, they don't even have to change the hotel name and/or dates sometimes, as there can be more than one a day or often at the usual guesthouses.

In this instance, the deceased was staying in a boutique hotel on riverside.

Fredriksen had been staying at the $100 a night hotel for around two and a half weeks at the time he died, so presumably he had a good job and he was doing ok.
His family and friends back home will probably be shocked and surprised at his death. Condolences to them.

Might make sense to you. I usually have to go back and read it again to work out what he was rambling on about.
