Man Attempts Suicide by Jumping into Flood Waters

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.

Man Attempts Suicide by Jumping into Flood Waters

Cambodia News, Battambang Province: At 11:55am on October 13, 2020, while the water was rising, a man jumped from a concrete bridge into the river, and was washed downstream where he grabbed on to a tree, and fortunately was rescued in time by a joint intervention force.

This incident occured in front of the provincial hall in Svay Por, Battambang, and the jumper has been identified as Chan Rattanak, alias Chen, 32, living in Phnom Penh.

Prior to the incident, the victim decided to end his life, so he drank two cans of beer and then jumped into the water from the stone bridge. The victim said that the reason he jumped into the water to attempt suicide was because he was upset with his new wife running around, (and who actually left him), while he was in prison, and since he only just got out of prison last month, he was still very upset.

Yes, it's sadly melodramatic (and other people risked their lives to save him.) I wonder what brand of beer he chose to drink before making his final gesture.

Fair dinkum, drinking that would probably make me jump into a river, too.
