Military Officer on Holiday Falls to his Death from Hotel Balcony
Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): On June 19, 2020, at 07:25 am, a military officer, Van Preksa, 45 years old, died after falling from the 3rd floor balcony at Asian Hotel, where he and his family were staying, in Kemarak Phumen city, Koh Kong.
After receiving the information, the local police collaborated with Khemarak Phumen police to examine the body at the scene of the accident. The victim had landed on his head on the pavement below the balcony, and his nose was bleeding; he died on impact.
The victim's wife said her family of 4 people came for a holiday and stayed at the Asian hotel. That night, the victim went out drinking alcohol at Beach bar and he returned to the room at 2 am. He went to stand at the balcony and somehow he lost his balance and fell to his death. His body was found later that morning. After the post mortem examination by officials, the body was returned to the family for funeral preparation.

Nasty dose.
As a sleepwalker, this sort of death is one that worries me.

Asian balcony railings are notoriously quite low
I'm 6'2", so very careful on balconies, even when sober

Funny, it seems like the wife didn't care much about her husband, if he returned at 2am but there was no effort to check on his whereabouts throughout the night. Can hardly say I blame her. Addition by subtraction.CEOCambodiaNews wrote: ↑Sat Jun 20, 2020 12:24 pm

how sad, yet another military officer in drunk death/accident, seems like there are about 5 stories a week involving them - perhaps they need to start teaching them about responsible drinking levels or they won't have an army left.

Next time you hear some wowser proudly say that he doesn't touch / indulge in " drugs " ask them if they have the occasional beer or glass of wine.If they admit their indulgence, inform that their drink is also a drug .
PS ,tea & coffee contain various levels of Caffeine ,also a drug . , Cheers ! ! !

He fell head-first onto concrete from the third floor and "his nose was bleeding". Very astute (Cambodian) medical observation. He still had a nose? Not a heart attack this time?

Balconies and alcohol, a deadly combination. I always thought it was just a Thai thing but as Cambodia builds higher and higher I guess we’ll start seeing more of it over here.
