Cambodia News, Phnom Penh: A foreigner has died on the steps of his first-floor neighbor's house, in the early morning of June 5, 2020, at the corner of Street 110, 13th Street in the old market area of Daun Penh District.

The unidentified man was described as a Caucasian man in his 40s, wearing only black shorts and no shirt.

According to sources at the scene, an upstairs resident came downstairs and saw a foreigner lying dead on the first floor, so he reported it to the local authority.

The source said the death of the foreigner is suspected to be caused by a drug induced heart attack.

After the incident, the competent authorities took the victim's body to be kept at Wat Teuk Thla, waiting for the paramedics to conduct a post mortem inspection and take action. RIP.

Why would he. RiP was a Christian term but in the last few years has been degraded to a meaningless Facebook formula that is as easily used as "god bless you" after a sneeze.

It's a fair question. PP is small and a guy I know who fits the profile is M.I.A

In depth news and discussion of society’s woes won’t happen in the Kingdom of Wonder. Death sells.

The article managed to squeeze foreigner, death, drugs, and heart attack all into one report.

Poor guy. Hope he finds the peace and happiness he never found in the Kingdom of Wonder in the next life.

Condolences to the family in the west that he left behind.
