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.

Kampot, Cambodia News: In the morning of February 25, 2019, the Immigration Department officials at Kampot received the information that a British woman, BARBARA NETTLE SHIP, passed away at the ripe old age of 100 at her rented house, no. 27, Sangkat Andong Khmer, Kampot.

According to the autopsy officials, the victim died of a physical disease that she has had for many years. The victim's family took the body to prepare for her funeral at Sovan Sakor pagoda in Kampot, according to approval given by the UK embassy.
RIP.

I'd like to know if she got her letter from the Queen. And if it was sent, did it arrive in Kampot, lol ?
For those who don't know, British subjects who reach 100 years old get a letter of congratulations from the Queen of England. Or so they say. :popcorn:

Another empire myth bites the dust. :santa: Anyway, always did seem a bit crazy - Here Granny, the Queen is suddenly so interested in your welfare that she sent you a birthday card. Never mind if you have enough to eat or you are rotting away in an old folks home.
As suggested by CC, a British woman who dies at the age of 100 in her own home in Cambodia must have led an interesting life. She probably didn't need any letters from the Queen to tell her that. It sounds like she has family here taking care of her last rites. Sounds good actually. RIP.

At least she she travelled and did what she wanted, better than to die in an old peoples home?

I'd like to know more about her backstory. I don't believe I've ever heard of any foreigner that old being here at all, and not many locals get to that age either.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
