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.

Thomas Jason Barry,46 yo, UK, found dead hours after arrival.

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

A 46yo British man, Thomas Jason Barry, was found dead No.3E2, Street 208, Group 7, Village 1, sangkat Boeung Reang, khan Daun Penh on November 9 2016 at 11PM.
Tragically, Thomas spent only hours in Phnom Penh before succumbing to a overdose of drugs. He had arrived at PPIA at midday on November 9, where he was greeted and taken home to the above address by a friend of his, William Kenneth Durkin. The friends drank beer (report says 1 can of beer each). Durkin went to lie down with a headache, and when he woke up he found his friend dead around 11pm.
Medical examination found Thomas' body positive for opiates, and the cause of death was given as drug-induced heart attack.

RIP Thomas and condolences to family and friends.

So many are dying of drugs in Phnom Penh at the moment. Be warned.

I think hanno is correct - 2 dead from drugs in PP in two days.

Message to tourist druggies. Think before you score (hard) drugs in Phnom Penh. A lot of people have been dying from drugs recently. Like dead right now. Think about it.
Not judging druggies - this is happening - spread the news with your junkie friends please. The heroin in Phnom Penh is killing people. Spread the word.
DO NOT buy from riverside motordops or tuktuks.

There doesn't seem to be much in the way of drug paraphernalia around the body, are we sure he didn't just mix something like Tramadol with booze? Opiates doesn't always mean smack. The other guy they found in a cupboard had a needle in his arm. RIP.

Cambodia unfortunately seems to attract the drug users & alcoholics like moths to a bright light.
