Cambodian Officer Jumps From National Defense University Building

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.

Further information says that the deceased was in the habit of drinking heavily, and that he was probably drunk when he jumped at around midnight. He was studying for a Psychology degree. No information on a possible motive.

I am assuming they are counting floors the European way: ground floor, first floor, second floor. That would mean a height of what, 6 meters? Plenty to kill yourself.

Actually the first, if the photo is correct. That should only be a fractured pelvis. Guess he went over head first?
