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.

Or stabbed through the heart or something. Just saying. Does he look like he died of old age? whatever that means. Does it mean he died healthy? Died in his sleep would have been nicer.

Maybe they mean he died without being murdered or having taken drugs and they distinguish these types of "old age" deaths to the other "heart stopped" :? That doesn't bode well.

RIP

Look like he had liver cancer . He didn't seem to die from any illness caused from obesity.

Oh, so it gives a specific illness for a change? I wonder how many of the tourist deaths were down to incurable diseases.

As far as I can figure 74 is considered old age. No big mystery, most people die by that age.

Lordy. It doesn't take long in that heat to bloat a deceased body. RIP.

He looks quite fit and healthy in his passport photo from just 6 years ago.
