Re: Chroy Changvar Bridge Continues to Attract Suicides
Pregnant Woman Saved Herself By Swimming
Phnom Penh, Cambodia News: On January 29, 2019, at 10:30 pm, a pregnant woman tried to commit suicide by jumping off Chroy Changvar Bridge in Phnom Penh.
A witness said that before the incident, the victim, who looked about 5 months pregnant, walked from Sangkat Sras Chok in the direction from west to east on Chroy Changvar bridge. After that, she jumped off from the bridge to kill herself.
However, fortunately the victim was able to swim, and her instinct for survival kicked in, so she was able to remain afloat long enough for the Cham fishermen who lived nearby to help the victim out of the water. Local people then called the authorities to come and fetch the woman. She had passed out, so the police called the ambulance to take her to Calmette hospital.

Re: Chroy Changvar Bridge Continues to Attract Suicides
Thats plenty if you land head first. you need 120ft apparently to reach terminal velocity when hitting concrete. I think its probably around that more than that in dry season throughbittermelon wrote: ↑Sat Feb 09, 2019 8:26 pm How high is this bridge? Only about 4 stories isn't it?

Sometimes the bodies are not retrieved immediately.
Phnom Penh, Cambodia News: On the morning of February 12, 2019, people saw a body floating in the river behind Chaktomuk Conference Hall in Chaktomuk Sangkat, Khan Daun Penh. They called the local police, who called in the nautical police to come with a boat and recover the body.
It is believed to be the remains of a man who leapt from Chroy Chanvar bridge on 9 February, but it is hard to distinguish any features because the body has been floating in the water for several days.

Phnom Penh, Cambodia News: In the evening of February 26, 2019, at the corner of Chroy Changva Bridge, a 35-year-old man attempted to put an end to his life by jumping from the bridge, before changing his mind and swimming to shore.
