American Tourist WILLIAM RICHARD DAVIS JR Dies of Drug Overdose at New York Hotel in Phnom Penh, Chinese Girlfriend Says

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.

That sort of damning statement isn't really helpful. We are in a country where proper examination of crime scenes is rarely followed. Only the most rudimentary forensics and post mortems exist, if they are even done at all. So we have it on the word of his girlfriend that he did drugs, that seems about it. She could well be right, she probably is, and that's good because that's pretty much all we'll ever know about it. I'm not talking about this case in particular, but it would be all too easy to cover up a death here by throwing a few syringes and pills around the room. Dead druggie - case solved - send the cadaver off to be burned before it starts stinking. 8-)
I suspect his embassy will investigate, or at least try to confirm the circumstances if it is at all suspicious.

This was sent to CEO from a friend of his friends, but they didn't know him personally:

"Not an OD. I didn't know him but we had common friends. And I have his gf statement on my phone. According to it they were both got sick during the flight, doctor recommended a rest and he never woke up after check in. Heart stopped."

We asked if they had any additional info, and they replied with this:

"Not really, but it all sounds really weird. My friend living in China knew him well and I am getting really mixed messages about this whole thing. I will let you know if I will learn something for sure.""
"Life is too important to take seriously."

"Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh."
