I thought that sounded crazy but it seems it's true:
some-opioid-addicts-are-using-an-anti-diarrhea-drug-to-get-their-fix
500 Imodium anyone?

This makes the most sense out of all the theories so far.

Very sad story and it reminds me of when I got sick and had similar symptoms when I was in Cambodia back in 2014. I believe it was due to food I ate (BBQ Squid on the beach..). I was fine until the next day when I started having bad stomach cramps. Eventually I started to have heat flashes and began vomiting having diarrhea. I went back to my hotel, took a shower and went straight to bed. It passed the next day (the day I had to fly back home). I figured it was a quick 24 hour bug but after coming back home to Canada, it hit me again and I was probably sick for a good 4-5 days. Fortunately, nothing happened during my flight (This was during the Ebola outbreak, so people were paranoid).

I was down there with my wife and her parents (her parents are natives) and they had suggested I go to the hospital to get checked out, but I tried to play tough and refused.

If they had some severe food poisoning like I had, and no plans to leave the country the very next day, I can totally see them looking for some quick relief via medicine from a pharmacy, or fellow travelers who may have offered "pills" to help relieve them of the pain.

It's entirely possible, even probable, that they asked for a medicine by name...Immodium is pretty famous

The vast majority of people do not read package inserts, much less follow them

re your question on this forum...yawn.

why on so many threads on this forum are their mor equestions than answers and seldom follow up reports?

Because we're keyboard warriors who don't know anything and just speculate about stuff and then argue with each other about our speculations?

Impossible, mon frere!

in Cambodia there are never any answers to most barang deaths 95%are classed as heart attacks and in this case drug overdose.Unless the Cambodia government starts to the fund the police and other authoritys adequately to investigate deaths this problem will remain.Most families cannot afford the fare home for a dead body so they are lucky to get a casket of ashes.Until Cambodia joins the 21st century forums like this is the best you have for answers.

Why would there be a "casket of ashes"? When a body is cremated, isn't it left in the casket? Wouldn't the casket turn to ashes too? Wouldn't the family get an urn of ashes or a container of ashes?

You're the pie man. You should know how ovens work.
