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.

On December 4, 2022, at an apartment under construction in Odim Village, Sangkat Choam Chao 3, Khan Por Senchey, Phnom Penh, fellow workers found the lifeless body of Sarith, a 22 year old construction worker, who was living at the construction site. His hometown is in Kampong Thom province.

According to sources at the scene, the young man had been working there for only for six days, and the night before the incident, he chatted with his girlfriend. His girlfriend had posted a story on Facebook with another man, which upset him to the point of making a short-term decision to commit suicide.
The body has been sent to the family of the deceased in Kampong Thom. RIP

So sad and tragic when we continue to hear of these young deaths on the basis of 'it's the end of the world' and 'life is not worth living anymore' when one gets jilted or rejected. :cry:

People's lives are too wrapped up in social media.

Would it have been different if he heard from a trustworthy friend that his gf was into another guy ?

But to be fair "posting something" on FB,it could have been a naughty shot, or some lightly romantic quote / meme.
Posting what, that is the question.
Anyway, too late, and RIP.
