Koh Rong Sanloem Island: 38-Year-Old Irishman Collapsed and Died

Cambodia News, Sihanoukville: In the afternoon of December 21, 2021, Mr. Oknha Tia Vichet sent a high speed boat from GTVC to the island of Koh Rong Sanloem to pick up a foreign tourist who fainted in front of a guesthouse called Beach (?) at Koh Rong Sanloem village, Sihanouk province, and sent him to the mainland to be rescued at the hospital.
The victim was identified as WAYNE MICHAEL MEEGAN, a 38-year-old Irish male, according to the Oknha Tia Vichet.
Unfortunately, although the Irishman was transported to Sihanoukville Referral Hospital, the doctors were unable to save him and he passed away. RIP and condolences to the family and friends.
Photos of the rescue mission have been placed on the darknet forum for privacy.
[Edit: Khmer Times give the cause of death as asphyxiation. If there is a further update, we will correct or confirm this.]

He would be 38, not 24; Khmer Times shoddy journalism strikes once again
