British Jake David Taylor dies in 'Wish You Were Here Guesthouse' Sihanoukville

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.

Could be anything. Maybe just too hot inside, or wind? It'll probably turn out to be a heart-attack.

I would say that this one was down to drugs. Probably opiates of some description.

i am sorry for your loss and not being disrespectful, but how do you know it was not?
24 years old? to young to die, unless he was suffering from some illness previously and if so why did he travel to Cambodia?
