American Tourist ROSS WESTCOTT CHAGNON Dies of Dysentery in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

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.

What are they hiding ? This is unusual, and the name of the guest house is already in the public domain.
Some interesting blurs in these photos from kohsantepheap daily news.

Hilarious! Trying to hide the name in the blue lettering. Never mind, the name is clearly visible in the red 'logo'.

Dysentery for some reason seems to me like an odd cause of death for a tourist in Phnom Penh.

Looks like he's lost some weight over the years:

"Ross Chagnon was a graduate of the first paramedic program class held at the Academy in 2012 known as the fabulous five. He took a risk on a fledgling program and remained a dear friend to us. He worked as a National Registry evaluator and championed the reality that life is too short so we should enjoy it while we are here. As Lt Morrone put it, “He was a kind, gentle, adventurous soul who loved traveling and spending time knowing and meeting locals.” You will be missed. Another great life cut short. His Instagram quote reads “legends never die.” We agree and those you touched will keep your legend alive and well. RIP."
