Cambodia News (Kampong Speu): On May 25, 2020, five people suffered from serious poisoning, and two of them died, after eating pufferfish, in Sre Ken village, Oral district, Kompong Speu.
The deceased were identified as Yong Nget, a 42-year-old man, and Hong Sarath called Pen, a 35-year-old man. The other three victims, who were sent to hospital with severe symptoms, were identified as Mao Seng, a 50-year-old woman, Van Sreypich, a 35-year-old woman, and Van Somphors, a 17-year-old boy.

What is it ?
The Mekong Puffer
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pao_suvattii
The Mekong Puffer
Pao suvattii,[2] or Arrowhead puffer, is a species of pufferfish. It is a medium-sized pufferfish, reaching 11.5 cm (4.5 in) SL.[3] It is also known as a Pignose Puffer or a Mekong Puffer. It is locally common in the Lower Mekong basin, and is exclusively a freshwater fish.[1]
The specific name honours Thai ichthyologist Chote Suvatti, former professor of Kasetsart University, who collected the type specimen at Mekong.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pao_suvattii
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6722796/Small-sized freshwater pufferfish, including Pao suvattii (formerly known as Tetraodon suvattii), contain paralytic shellfish poison (PSP) as the major toxic component in their skin and ovary, and consumption of these fish occasionally causes food poisoning in Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand and Cambodia [11,12,13,14]. PSP is a group of neurotoxins produced by toxic dinoflagellates of the genera Alexandrium, Gymnodinium, and Pyrodinium in marine environments and by toxic cyanobacteria of the genera Anabaena, Cylindrospermopsis, Aphanizomenon, Planktothrix, and Lyngbya in freshwater environment

I've heard of quite a few sporadic incidents here where people were poisoned and died after eating these. Bad move.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

You'd think people who lived that long would know not to eat the obviously lethal fish, wouldn't you?
