Oh definitely. I remember when Kampot was just a fun little place with a river you shouldn't jump into when you're drunk, or at least that was the only news coming out of there.

LD50 in rats is around 1200mg per kg of weight.

How Much Valium to Overdose?
Just how much Valium would it take to overdose? As alluded, any milligram amount above 40 mg a day is, technically speaking, an overdose. However, even at 1,000 times the recommended dose — upwards of 2,000 mg — Valium is still not lethal. It’s safe to say experts just don’t have a definitive answer as how much Valium it would take to kill a person when taken by itself. To put things into perspective, the estimated LD50 for Valium, the amount it would take to kill 50 percent of lab rats tested on the drug, is 1200–1240 mg/kg. At this rate, a 180-pound man would need to ingest nearly 100,000 mg of Valium to fatally overdose. Now, this isn’t to say that such insatiable use isn’t dangerous. Far from it. Any individual that attempted to consume this amount of Valium would certainly go comatose in the process. Especially if attempt involved crushing and snorting the prescription pill, which brings additional respiratory problems into the picture. Plus, Valium’s perceived safety is swept away if it is used in conjunction with opioids or alcohol. The body simply cannot handle such immense suppression. Expect deadly results if such a combination occurs.

But yeah, add booze and breathing can become suppressed.

I wonder how her stomach managed to keep 120 Valium inside without vomiting

This

I wonder how her stomach managed to keep 120 Valium inside without vomiting

...and this.

'A glass of water beside the bed'...something wrong here. If you try and swallow 110 pills it is likely there would have been pills dropped, water spilled everywhere, retching/vomiting . I have trouble swallowing 2 paracetamol. Your body does not want to die, regardless of what your head says, and overdoses I've seen are often messy affairs.
If her stomach was not checked or an autopsy done, then she could have died by other means. For the police to assume it was an overdose, all they need is empty pill foils and the word of her husbad? Fark that.

RIP M'am.

Or add someone smothering you with a pillow. I'm not saying that happened, but the Cambodian police and medical examiners would have no idea if it did. They just see empty drug packages and announce drug overdose and case closed.

Are you for real? 120 valium pills wouldn't be enough to kill someone? I assumed that many of damn near anything would kill someone. I would assume 120 multivitamins, or even that many tictacs could kill someone. I had a neighbor in Phnom Penh who was a bit drunk and took about 8 valium pills one night, and I assumed he was a goner. He seemed fine 2 days later, but I can't imagine someone taking 120 valiums and not dying.

RIP, but at least it was probably a pretty chill way to go.
