Man Killed by Air-Conditioner

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.

Here's a link to the same story in Khmer. I can't read Khmer but my wife is Khmer and she said it was the man's wife who died according to the Khmer story. May need to verify some information here.

That is what I read elsewhere too: the man was sleeping with the children in another room and the woman was on her own in the room after not feeling well.

You may be right. Sometimes the he/she is not clear, and in the photo the body looks like a man (to me anyway. )
Source photo. Warning: Extreme graphic photo of the body:
Spoiler:

However, whether male or female, the person died. The cause was identified as a faulty air-con.

I'm no Fire Marshal, but those burns through her thigh bone and relatively little burn damage around that area and how she is lying there and looks like she never even tried to move, look mighty suspicious to me.

Accelerant + unconscious victim = Hmmm...

No need for the tinfoil hat. With smoke inhalation you can die without even waking up.

No tinfoil hat required to look at the pictorial evidence and draw logical conclusions. Many things happen here in Cambodia that would never happen elsewhere and slip by the PTB.
