Death by misadventure?
Not googled the term so replying off the top of my head here.
If it was a case of being drunk and or drugs where he wasn’t fully in control of his faculties which led him to being unconscious on a main road very late at night it may not have been a deliberate act of suicide, maybe accidental death if not by misadventure.

Whatever his act was, it was definitely a hit and run

True. On the other hand taking a nap on Norodom Blvd at night ain't the smartest thing to do if you care about ur personal safety.

Looks like laying down on railway tracks is no longer the place to be.

Then they have no business getting behind a wheel. If he/she can't swerve and avoid a stationary object on a clear road with at least 3 lanes at 1am, how are they going to to avoid a sudden animal or hazard that appears behind an obstruction. Defensive driving is a very important skill. Panic is not a valid reason when your vehicle carries the potential of inflicting serious danger to the occupants and pedestrians.

Yes but this is Cambodia.

By "foreign man" do they mean white man or Khmer American or Chinese?

3 days after this tragic incident, no news follow-up and nothing else about the car that ran over the man. To say that there was a witness who described the incident that was reported.

Quote - A car came from the roundabout of the Independence Monument along Norodom Road, driving from south to north at high speed, and ran over the man causing him to die instantly at the scene. The car accelerated and drove away without stopping.
The accident scene is well lit, the witness saw what had happened clearly.
We have a description of the incident, but no description of the car involved, It, makes one wonder if the car was actually known to the authorities. it's difficult to look for something that doesn't exist.

Has for the driver leaving the scene of an accident, it's a pretty common occurrence, it actually comes across has the thing to do, an unwritten law or code. To me it shows cowardness, the persons irresponsibility to face their actions, if they can drive away from the accident they will, if the vehicle is immobilised, they will run on foot.
