Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Kampot, Cambodia: The body of 24 year old Australian Kristy Anne Blackney was found floating in the river by the owner of Arcadia Backpackers.

The cause of death is presumed to be drowning.

Kristy Blackney left Perth, Australia to fly to Bangkok, Thailand on July 26 for an extended holiday in South East Asia, according to her Facebook.

It also appears she got a tattoo in Phuket, Thailand before heading to Cambodia.

Would that be the tattoo she got in Thailand? Looks like it says "...DKK."

What could that be?

It's not on the Kampot Notice Board? Truly shocking.

Poor kid. Some father's little girl lost to Cambodia. Sad. RIP.

I wonder where she was staying. Presumably somewhere upstream of Arcadia.
