Crocodile farm owner slips and dies

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.

Crocodile farm owner slips and dies

Post by Spigzy »

I'm not usually one to post gory stuff, but this story caught my eye, not for the reason in the headline which is self-explanatory. I'm accustomed to seeing so many traffic accidents where the sole flip-flop is photographed for some weird reason, and in this case too, the flip-flop photographer has got himself a winner for this year's prize surely??

Can't help but to wonder what the uncensored images looked like, not often have I seen people eaten by crocodiles.

I imagine they don't leave clean bones like bears do, more like chew it all up?

There was a young girl child eaten by crocs in a SR croc farm a few years ago

IIRC her clean skull was the only part remaining. There's some disturbing pics in a forum thread here from that time. . .
