Hush Hush Surrounds Italian Man's Death at NaNa Hotel, Phnom Penh

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.

Hush Hush Surrounds Italian Man's Death at NaNa Hotel, Phnom Penh

Phnom Penh, Cambodian News: On January 28, 2018, at 11:50 pm, an unidentified Italian man was found dead in his room on the 3rd-floor at NaNa hotel in Sangkat Psar Thmei 3, Khan Don Penh, Phnom Penh.

Yesterday evening, the hotel staff reported to the police that a foreign man had died at NaNa hotel. The police went to the scene and contacted the specialist police for examination of the deceased, who was suspected of suffering from a heart attack. However, after examining the body, police refused to answer any questions or provide any information to journalists concerning the death, and the body was sent out of the hotel by ambulance to an unknown destination.
This discretion on the part of the police is unusual in Cambodia, where police regularly comment in the media, and reporters are usually permitted to photograph the dead.

An inner sanctum level Bong Thom is in some way financially involved with said hotel...

...and in a strict patronage system such a Cambodia, no one will dare upset the rice bowl of what is or potentially could be a high level, deep pocketed patron for them.

Police refused to release the details but only saying heart attack? It reminds me a TV show, Dogs of Berlin. Prob the victim is not just a nobody.

After inspection by police forensic staff, the cause of his death was determined to be a heart attack. His body has been taken to the morgue at the Khmer Soviet Friendship Hospital, awaiting instructions from the Italian Embassy once the family are informed. RIP
