Dead man found in casino grounds, Poipet.

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.

Suicide ?
An unidentified man was found dead Thursday morning on the grounds of the Star Vegas Casino in Poipet City, local police said.

A customer stumbled upon the dead body under a coconut tree when walking in the garden of the casino at 8 a.m. on Thursday, according to Poipet City police chief Um Sophal. The man’s face was destroyed by gashes that police suspect were made by an ax, he said.

“The suspect was about 40 years old and he was killed by someone who used an ax to stab his face; it looks horrible,” Mr. Sophal said.

Yap......suicide......100 %.
Und der Haifisch der hat Tränen
Und die laufen vom Gesicht
Doch der Haifisch lebt im Wasser
So die Tränen sieht man nicht

In der Tiefe ist es einsam
Und so manche Träne fliesst
Und so kommt es dass das Wasser
In den Meeren salzig ist

What are the odds, hey? I'd bet he was palming cards as well.

The local Khmer papers said he was Thai. They could just be guessing though.
"Life is too important to take seriously."

"Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh."

Hmmm, it is unwise to sleep under coconut trees... (especially with an axe.) :facepalm:
