Looks like he beached himself. I'll believe the heart attack verdict in this case.

No, this one was "fainting."

Might be tactful to change the heading ? The word "obese" is not really necessary and I have friends that are bigger than that - we say that they are "well-built". :roll:
We are on a public forum, so you know, play nice. The next guy might be a friend of yours.

Seems to be quite a year for foreign deaths in Cambodia and S'ville must be in the lead I guess ?

I used the most proper adjective that I could to describe the situation. Ok, I think it's HE Beach, so I'll add that instead.

Ok, slightly more info being added to the OP in a minute...

His family has gotten in touch with me. They are trying to find out which guesthouse he was staying in so they can contact them.

They are thinking it "might" be Sovanniphum Guesthouse, but aren't sure.

I think it looks like he died of natural causes, but authorities still haven't ruled out foul play/robbery. Even his motorbike was still there.

He was only in Cambodia for about a month before his death, so less likely that someone here knows him, but if so, get in touch (or I can get you their contact info, which is probably easier).

Seems they just want to confirm where he stayed and are having difficulties with the whole process.
