Finn Arto Rantonen Dies of Suspected Drug-Induced Heart Attack in Phnom Penh Guesthouse

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.

The pictures from the scene don't show any signs of drugs. The drug paraphernalia pictured only shows a drug test and a urine sample but there's none of the usual indications you'd see, for example there are no needle marks on his arm, his weight is normal and there is no pills or powder found (published). Remember Jani Raappana?

It was a sarcastic joke aimed at the general in response to the post where I thought it sounded funny that the Cambodian wife was visiting from Finland, sorry.

Ah, the syringe was a urine sample. That makes my previous comment obsolete.

I've never met a Finn in Cambodia but they seem to grace the premature death notices here pretty often.

Are we allowed to joke around in death threads again? It appears so.

No. I moved a couple posts. Image
