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.

I wonder what is the medical term for “die of fainting” and also wonder if this disease is isolated to only Cambodia?
Some NGO probably did a series of workshops on 'fainting' so now that's the new cause of death. When they do another series on anemia in a few years that'll be the new main cause of death. Start taking iron now and you're going to be protected!

Actually you can, but the fainting itself isn't lethal, it's just the result of an underlying condition. Heat strokes for instance are quite common, although not so much in this season.
I'm surprised it wasn't heart attack...that's usually the cause of death in Cambodia when they find a dead body and are clueless to determine the cause..
