American Shane Thomas Mahoney OR Canadian Gerald Walter Russell Died at Marina Hotel in Sihanoukville

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Reports are mixed, with various Khmer news outlets reporting either an American name named Shane Thomas Mahoney died in Marina Hotel with pictures to prove it, or reports stating the deceased man is Canadian Gerald Walter Russell.

The pictures of the deceased confirm all the articles are taking about the same case, but some show a scanned copy of Shane Mahoney's passport, while others have a scanned copy of Gerald Russell's passport.

Both passport pictures show an elderly man with a big, white, bushy beard, which both match the picture of the deceased.

So, somebody died at the Marina Hotel in Sihanoukville, but it's not perfectly clear who.



A Canadian/American man found dead near a bathtub

Sihanoukville: According to various news, around 11:00 am on 18 Jan 2016, a foreigner was found dead in room number D1 at Marina hotel (near Outoniyum) located in group number 27, village number 3, commune number 3, Sihanoukville province. The foreigner named Russell Gerald Walter, male, Canadian, 69 years old, or Shane Thomas Mahoney, male, American, 71 years old. The cause of the death is not identified yet and recently the body is being kept at the hotel waiting for police and doctor to come to do the autopsy.

Here is the passport of American Shane Thomas Mahoney:

Here is the passport of Canadian Gerald Walter Russell:

The one thing all the news outlets seem to agree on is that he died in room D1:

All things considered, it seems more likely that American Shane Thomas Mahoney died here today, as they have his original passport and most importantly his Cambodian visa which shows dates that line up, and there is some weird explanation as to why a black and white scanned copy of Canadian Gerald Russell's passport has gotten mixed up in this story.

Just to add to what has been raised OTOF about this death, the dates of birth are not the same.

We've narrowed the cause of death down to "anything" and we've narrowed the identity of the deceased down to either an American or Canadian man. Fuck, I'm done with this story. :(

RIP

A lot of Americans pretend to be Canadians when traveling and a lot of Canadians pretend to be Americans when acting. In death a corpse can pretend to be both. I'll wager that he's from a third country

Yeah, Russell's family has confirmed with CEO that he's alive and well.

We're still trying to figure out how his name and passport scan got mixed up in this story.

It's all very strange.
