Cambodia News, (Phnom Penh): Three young women died in a row, one died on the way home and two others died in a rented room in Sothearos Street, Sangkat Tonle Bassac Khan Chamkarmon, Phnom Penh, on the afternoon of September 2, 2021.



According to a friend of the trio, one of the women, before she died on September 1, 2021, felt unwell and went to her hometown on the other side of the river to buy medicine, and then told her friend to see if the other two women needed help. The female source went to see the other two women and called the owner of the rented room to open the door, which was locked. The two young women were found lifeless in their room.

It seems that the three friends were drinking alcohol mixed with softdrinks on 31 August, shortly before they all were found dead. The alcohol is suspected to be the cause of death, but police are investigating. RIP.

There's gotta be some appeal to pouring methanol down your gullet, I guess it could be similar to drinking ether, something else people shouldn't do. There are loads of other substances that will get ya fukk'd up without killing ya. Somebody please inform these dumb bells! Poor cutie pies, RIP.

Oh my... I just had that a few days back for the first time. We got a bottle for g-month offerings. Cost was about $1-ish.

It was quite sweet and pleasant smelling, like bubblegum. Did not taste alcoholic at all. I sipped the rest of the 500ml bottle over 2 days... it tasted harmless and it did wonders for my appetite. The buzz was minor...

Wanted to get another Hong Meas bottle earlier today, but thankfully, I chose to get a bottle of scotch instead.

The wine did taste really sweet and light though.I can understand how these young budget conscious girls went through 11 bottles in a night. Angkor beer tastes stronger and gives a better buzz. They probably figured it's less strong than beer.

Sigh...

Do rest in peace.
