Englishman BENJAMIN HUTCHINGS Dies from Ketamine Overdose in Kampot, Cambodia

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Kampot, Cambodia News: On August 21 at 09:30 pm, a British expat only identified as BEN (but seems to be identified on social media as Benjamin Hutchings), about 32 years old, was found dead in his rented room in Kampot. The exact information of the victim hasn't been confirmed yet, as his passport hasn't been found.

The 47 year old landlord, Pich Sinoun, reported to the police that his tenant, a foreigner from England, died at his rental property. The police went to the scene to examine the body and determined that the victim died from using excessive amounts of Ketamine, drinking too much and smoking marijuana.

The police found marijuana, bottles of ketamine and cans of beer in his room. The victim also had an injured left thigh from an accident they happened 10 days ago.

May he rest in peace and condolences to all his friends and family.

Images in our Darknet Cambodia News forum show a horrific scene of where he was found. The deceased man has one leg in a bandage and the other leg can be seen with a Satanic Star tattoo.

That’s the second K related death in the last few days. What’s going on? Bad batch running around or just becoming more mainstream?

Strange to be mainlining Ketamine, it's usually done intramuscular.

Shows what I know...I thought people cooked and smoked it or whatever.

That is, if he had it for recreational purposes.

Yes, with the needle right next to it. Dude was shooting it up. I guess they are getting lazy and nothing drying/cooking the batch then snorting it anymore.

up until recently, hearing about deaths from Ketamine were pretty rare, Ketamine is very popular in the UK yet there was only 23 ketamine-related deaths in the UK between 1993 and 2006, and only 4 of those deaths was solely due to Ketamine, the rest were a cocktail of drugs found in the system,
yet 2 people in the past few days have died from "Ketamine overdoses"...

possible they were mixing with other drugs though
