Begging for a Funeral: When the Homeless Die
Phnom Penh, Cambodia News: There was much emotion when a homeless woman died on the afternoon of September 2, 2018 by the wall of the Steung Meanchey pagoda, in Steung Meanchey 1 Commune,Phnom Penh.
The woman and her husband used to sleep near the wall of Steung Meanchey pagoda, but on 2 September the husband discovered that his wife had died. All he could do was to sit down and kiss his beloved wife, and call for help, because there was no money to make a funeral. People on the street were moved by the man's distress and they gave him money to hold a traditional funeral ceremony at Stung Meanchey pagoda.
The woman, Houn Srey Sok, 34, and her husband named Thorrithy, 44 years old, were both homeless people, who had been living together without being married. She was physically very thin and was suffering from various illnesses from living on the street. The authorities say that she died from bleeding and heart failure. RIP Srey Sok.
