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.

Why are people dying of heart attack at a relatively young age in Cambodia?

I suspect the following maybe the reason:

"In the long term, meth use can cause irreversible harm: increased heart rate and blood pressure; damaged blood vessels in the brain that can cause strokes or an irregular heartbeat that can, in turn, cause cardiovascular collapse or death; and liver, kidney and lung damage."(drugfreeworld.org)

Cardiotoxicity associated with methamphetamine use and signs of cardiovascular pathology among methamphetamine users

Methamphetamine may, however, exacerbate pre-existing underlying cardiac pathology, such as coronary atherosclerosis or cardiomyopathy, thereby increasing the risk of an acute event such as myocardial infarction or even sudden cardiac death. Long-term methamphetamine users appear to be most at risk of cardiovascular damage, such as premature, accelerated coronary artery disease. As such, methamphetamine toxicity is more likely to have a fatal outcome with chronic use.

Serious question as I do not do drugs: is meth so widespread now, even among middle-class Westerners?

That was a pretty stupid comment.... I do realize that young people die of heart conditions, but proportionally the number seems very high here.

They could be dying from overdoses or anything really, it's just a catch-all phrase the authorities use because they don't actually know. You probably remember years back they used to blame mysterious deaths on "dizziness".
