American Man Attempts Suicide in Golden Sorya Mall

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.

American Man Attempts Suicide in Golden Sorya Mall

Post by General Mackevili »

Looks like we have our first dead foreigner thread on CEO. [Please don't get carried away.]

I can only use Google Translate, but it sounds like this happened today around 10:30am. Also, Google Translate calls the title "American woman suicide," but it's clearly not a woman.

I'm assuming the only reason this one WASN'T classified as a "heart attack" is because of the bloody mess. His throat looks cuts in the NSFW picture.

And while the article calls it a "suicide," I think we all know there might be more to this story. Anyone heard anything about this? He's not identified yet, so could be a tourist or an expat.

I also find myself wondering how they know the person is an "American" if they can't identify him. He's not fat, and unless they found him barely still alive, he wouldn't have an accent to help them determine his nationality either.

Here is Google's near worthless translation:
Phnom Penh: Americans do not know the identity security Sorya spotted suicide Food. Suicide do not know why in a standard no vendors in the market place, Surya Mall.
Such an event caused surprise in 10 hours and 30 minutes on 20 May 2014.
According to correspondent Santhepheap confirmed that now Americans are emergency at Calmette Hospital.
Or read it yourself, in Khmer.

Thanks. I just didn't catch it because it was in the "spoiler" and I just glanced over the message. :bow:

Yeah... <ambo_hat> suicides don't cut their own throats, especially not like that. They cut their wrists. </ambo_hat>

Geez! That sure doesn't look like a suicide! And 10:30 am is a strange time for a murder there. Poor guy! Thanks for the translation General. Anyone try to recruit PorkyPig yet?
I am sooooo very sorry if you can't understand or appreciate my sarcastic facetiousness.

Well, if slitting your throat doesn't kill you, Calmette Hospital will. Image
