Mystery Deaths: Two Korean Students Die of Unknown Causes During Cambodian Aid Work
Re: Mystery Deaths: Two Korean Students Die of Unknown Causes During Cambodian Aid Work
I have had what started out as vomiting the first day, and after that diarrhea, for 10 days. I lost a lot of weight, maybe 20 kg, and became weak, but I did not die.hanno wrote: ↑Sat Jan 12, 2019 8:43 amAgain, I am no Doctor, but I find it hard to believe that two young, healthy students die within a day or two because of dehydration. I was pretty sick last week and lost 5 kilos in two days but once I got fluids in, I was OK within a day,Na Hong-gyu(S.

I agree. Dying from dehydration so quickly is unlikely.
I have always thought, people die from chronic untreated diarrhea, which lasts a long time.

I believe they should do a through investigation. There have been too many unexplained deaths lately. Whatever killed them, could kill any one of us. We should know what to avoid.

Sure, dehydration is no joke but you'd have to lose up to about 10% of your weight for it to become lethal. They were not, as far as I am aware of, doing any strenuous exercise.Kammekor wrote: ↑Sat Jan 12, 2019 9:01 amYes, if the reports are true, this is very strange. They got reportedly ill on the 8th, they went to the hospital on the 8th according to the reports, and everyone knows the first ting they do in the hospital is put you on a drip.hanno wrote: ↑Sat Jan 12, 2019 8:43 amAgain, I am no Doctor, but I find it hard to believe that two young, healthy students die within a day or two because of dehydration.

Lethal dehydration in a matter of hours just seems so fast.
Having said that, I once nearly passed out after I did a six km run in the woods mid day and I didn't drink enough water at that time / afterwards, nor took the time for my body to cool down afterwards. I experienced heat combined with dehydration can be pretty serious.

Diarrhea causes dehydration. It is the dehydration that normally causes death.
I have always thought, diarrhea needs to last for a long time to get to the point where it is life threatening.

A real risk for babies and the elderly. My daughter got sick just before me and was in bad shape after just a day. And I did lose 5% weight in two days, which is a fair bit. But die in a day or two from dehydration? Can't see that happening.

Virak busses, guns, knives, rice wine, meth heads, train tracks (no sleeping on), drunk Moto drivers.
Asia is full of dangers. Thousands of young people die everyday in the west in unexplained circumstances every week but it’s not reported.
Don’t become paranoid.
RIP to these two youngsters.

I agree, but I would still like to see this investigated.davegorman wrote: ↑Sat Jan 12, 2019 10:18 am Asia is full of dangers. Thousands of young people die everyday in the west in unexplained circumstances every week but it’s not reported.

How, where? Cambodia doesn’t have the facilities (or inclination) to investigate. It doesn’t have a freezer facility either so there’s no way the bodies can be inspected in their home country.explorer wrote: ↑Sat Jan 12, 2019 10:21 amI agree, but I would still like to see this investigated.davegorman wrote: ↑Sat Jan 12, 2019 10:18 am Asia is full of dangers.

It’ll just be another sad death. In one week it’ll all be forgotten about by the majority until the next “unexplained death”.
