Malaysian Man Found Dead in 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.

I get it, but thats not my definition of strangling
Fair enough, but just to be pedantic:
Hangings are in fact a type of strangulation, along with ligature strangulation and manual strangulation. Hangings and strangulations can all be accidental, self-inflicted (e.g. in suicide) or intentional (e.g. judicial hangings)

Very sad. I really hope this is not Peter Chai from Mok Mony restaurant. Looks like him though.

While I really hope it is not related, Mok Mony did post a message about a week ago saying that they were closing down the restaurant because of the current bad business and their landlord raising the rent on them.

Is that his webpage? The covid and raising rents was taking a toll, forcing him to close.

Either way, what a way to go.
That's hypoxia, a good way to go: euphoria then unconsciousness then death.

I nearly did it to myself a long time to ago. It was my daughters 2nd or 3rd birthday party. I did the usual trick of breathing in the helium from the balloons and talking in a high pitched voice. I kept on doing it, breathing in, exhaling in silly voice and repeating the process. I thought it was hilarious and was having a great time (euphoria), then I woke up in a heap on the floor with a crowd around me, and everyone really found that hilarious. It was amazingly quick.

"At least you know your ticker is ok" is all I got in the way of sympathy.

haha me and my mate did that once, there was a fair on in the ASDA carpark in our village, and they had a big helium canister in the lobby blowing up helium balloons and me and my mate kept going back and getting more and more, then we both ended up passing out
