Police say that an elderly man who fell sick after attending a wedding on December 21 in Pursat’s Bakan district died Sunday morning at the district hospital. Yim Vin, 83, was one of 46 villagers to have fallen sick after being poisoned during the wedding ceremony. Police cited late treatment and his prior poor health condition as the main cause.

“When he got poisoned, he was late in getting treatment because he thought that his condition was not serious. He refused to come to get a health checkup and treatment,” said provincial deputy police chief Heang Sokha.

Pursat provincial military commander Kheng Tito said on Friday that after attending a wedding reception in the village, some patients began vomiting blood and showing other symptoms of poisoning. Mr. Tito said he suspected the cause was tainted Coca-Cola imported from Vietnam, though other sources say this is unlikely.
