A more responsible report would have included the reasons for hospitalization and how he got hid hands on a gun in a hospital, if indeed it was suicide.

Oh dear. Based on some of these articles, seems like you might be on to something here.

And as always, I know that some people don't appreciate such graphic images. However, I consider it evidence. When police or authorities rule something a "suicide," I think it's good if people who choose to look into it are able to decide if they want to see images from the crime scene and decide if they think it's MURDER or SUICIDE themselves.

Positioning does look odd. Maybe some more witnesses will be quoted. The reports seem to all say that he was in the room alone when the trigger was pulled.

And would it even be a crime to give someone a gun if you knew there plan was to kill themselves?

Terminal German Man Commits Suicide in Hospital

PHNOM PENH, Apr. 8 (Khmer Times) — A German man was found dead in Sen Sok International University Hospital on Wednesday in what police are calling a suicide.

At around 5 am, hospital staff heard a loud gunshot and found Dr. Wolfgang Schmidtberg, who was staying the hospital due to terminal colon cancer, lying dead with a gun next to his head.

According to police, Dr. Schmidtberg requested his wife and brother-in-law bring a gun he owned to the hospital.

Mok Hong, a Sen Sok district police inspector, said Dr. Schmidtburg’s wife and brother-in-law were in custody at Sen Sok police station and being questioned.

“We believe the gun was brought to the hospital concealed in a black plastic bag by the two,” said the Mr. Mok. “The security guards at the hospital should have inspected visitors coming into the hospital.”

According to Sen Sok police, Dr. Schmidtburg was a former UNTAC staff member and assumed the gun was registered to him during that time.

The Sen Sok Police Department contacted the German Embassy, the police officer said.

“The embassy refused to send a representative to the hospital to inspect the body. So the body will be released into the custody of his wife after the investigation,” he said.

Dr. Schmidtburg was dentist who ran a clinic in Tuol Kok.
