Foreigner tragically falls/jumps on to tuktuk from 6FL window at Pearl Condo Complex

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.

This. It wasn't suicide nor was he a member of the PFC (Pattaya Flying Club); he just needed a Tuk-tuk in a hurry.

Shortly before the incident, the Taiwanese man was heard to say "If one more tuk tuk driver asks me if I want a tuk tuk, I'm gonna go through the roof".

It is posted on several Khmer news sources that police are still investigating whether the case is a suicide.

They are still not sure whether the man jumped or was pushed. Police reported a distinct lack of co-operation by the two side-by-side Chinese condos when they were first trying to determine from which building the victim had fallen; both buildings denied any knowledge of the victim.

បើតាមសមត្ថកិច្ចដែលចុះទៅពិនិត្យនៅកន្លែងកើតហេតុនោះ បានឲ្យដឹងថា ម្ចាស់ខុនដូទាំង២ មិនបានសហការល្អជាមួយសមត្ថកិច្ចឡើយ ទើបបណ្តាលឱ្យមានការអូសបន្លាយពេលស្រាវជ្រាវ ជាច្រើនម៉ោងបែបនេះ។
Police also say that they are still investigating the reason for the man's fall, and trying to ascertain that he was not a victim of abduction, being held prisoner by a criminal gang.

After investigation, the case has been classed as a suicide. It is reported that before the Taiwanese man fell to his death, a friend had called for help but it was too late, and the victim had already jumped out the window.
According to the Bureau of Medical Science and Oknha Dr Nong Sovannarith, the victim died of self-destructive suicide. Currently, the body is placed at Stung Meanchey pagoda.
