No indication as to why they concluded it was drug related, not that I doubt it. 38 year olds do have heart attacks sometimes without drug abuse.

Why be compassionate? If I smoke and die of cancer I bet I would get no sympathy from the junkies. Self inflicted injury and a lot of problems for the hotel and the girlfriend. if you want to treat Cambodia as a giant crack house don't cry when you get burned. next you will be expecting sympathy for drug dealers as well

I'm not angry at all :).

I've compassion for decent people, but not for druggies. I feel so sorry for the Cambodian people who have to put up & deal with such people

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. Case closed. 8-)
Silence, exile, and cunning.
