American Man Attempts Suicide in Golden Sorya Mall

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.

From the article I understood it as he might not be dead but is currently at the emergency room at Calmette. They think it's a suicide attempt but they don't confirm that he's dead. He also looks conscious in that picture to me. Despite all the blood..with his hand supporting his head.. the other hand firmly gripping his belt. Open bottle of water standing next to his body.. difficult to say though.

The article doesn't really say anything definite about what happened. It's all assumptions and guesswork.

Maybe they'll post an update when they find out more.

^ Yeah, waiting for more news....

Might ask some of my GSM buddies if they've heard anything. News on that block travels fast. Reliability is probably pretty low though.

That's good news. Again, based on Google Translate, the story is harder to grasp than Schrödinger's cat.

On that other website the belief is that he died.

It can not be both.

Not really. He was just performing the double slit experiment.

Based on kohsantepheapdaily's latest article, it seems he survived.

He had supposedly been smoking meth. A security guard had seen him remove his shirt, pull out a knife and (attempt) to cut his own throat.

His full name, passport number, age and country of origin is posted in the same article.
