Mystery of man found dead in Far East apartment


MYSTERY surrounds the death of a 53-year-old man who was discovered dead in an apartment in Cambodia.


The man, named in the Far East country as Stephen William King from Scunthorpe, was working as an office manager.


The Foreign Office has confirmed it has been made aware of the death of a British national – and it is understood officials are now seeking his next of kin.


A source in Cambodia told the Scunthorpe Telegraph Mr King's death was the 48th death of foreign nationals in the country already this year.

Sad but maybe not that surprising.

There is a good post in another thread on which says something along the lines of there being little or no autopsy done in Cambodia. It's just a case of..."right, this person is dead", with few other details recorded. It must be terrible for the families of these guys back in the UK.

RIP.

to state that these three people died from heart attacks is simply a load of rubbish .the Cambodians want to get their act together and find out exactly how these people died their relatives I am sure would like to know .

And Jersey should be spelt with a capital 'J'

And British should be spelt with a capital 'B'

And Cambodia should be spelt with a capital C and a 'm' not a 'n'

And Channel Islands should be spelt with capital 'C' and 'I'

It is easy to find mistakes everywhere.....
