British Tourist Ibrahim Baig Dies in Shenanigans Guesthouse 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.

RIP
Asleep at the bar, on the toilet, where?
Think he was staying there. died in his sleep in his room. I could easily have misunderstood though.

No idea of name, age etc

RIP in any case
An elegant reply to a question that was less so.

You are right. I have been kicking myself about my flippant post. Apologies.

Oh Christ, please don’t tell the family he was murdered by Cambodiabs after his money.

21 year old man dying in sleep in Cambodia = drug overdose, 99% of the time.

@Maryjane So sorry for your loss. Such a young man. It can be very difficult to find out what made someone die prematurely in a re-developing country such as Cambodia. I would imagine the friends he was travelling with would have more information about the hours before he died.

It is true that young travellers usually die in Cambodia via misadventure/accident or an overdose. Post mortems are rare, expensive and unreliable. I hope you are getting good advice from the embassy/consulate?

Again, my deepest sympathies.

Muhammad Ibrahim Baig
Is that an English or Scottish name?
He is my cousin brother . He is 21 years old visiting Cambodia with friends .,
My uncle received a call from embassy to relay news . We have some information but not all . They sent pictures . My cousin will go to identify the body .
We just want to know what really happened?
Was he given medical help ?
Was he alone ?
What time ?
Etc
