Filipino English Teacher Dies of Promethazine Overdose in Siem Reap
Siem Reap: A 24 year Filipino man, GERRY MANDERICO, died of a heart attack due to a medical overdose, according to police, at the provincial hospital in Sangkat Svay Dong Kom, Siem Reap.
A friend says that the victim, an English teacher at Oshi (or Aichi) International School, was taken to the hospital at 4:30pm on 9 June, because he was obviously unwell. He remained in hospital overnight, but passed away the next day at 3:05pm on June 10.
A post-mortum examination by the doctors found that the victim had used excessive promethazine medicine, which caused him to have a heart attack. The body was taken to keep at the Khmer Soviet friendship hospital. RIP.
[CEO note: Promethazine is the generic name for Phenergan, a well known antihistamine sold over the counter. The drug also has sedative side effects and it is not advisable to drink alcohol when taking this medication. https://www.everydayhealth.com/drugs/phenadoz]
