Body of Foreign Man Found Floating at Koh Rong Samloem Beach

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.

This man was staying in the bungalow across from me, although I never met him. Here's what I know about him from people in Saracen Bay. He had a bad leg that gave him pain and liked to drink rum in the evenings. However, he was also focused on his health. Every day he would swim across the entire bay twice, so it seems unlikely that alcohol was a direct cause of his death. Most likely a stroke or heart attack. It's a very beautiful place to pass away, at least. RIP

This thread is originally about a man's death and you guys are discussing your holiday plans and desires not to occupy the deceased bungalow. WTF?
