An 18-year-old security guard who vanished during a Vietnamese oil tanker’s collision with a jetty in Sihanoukville on Tuesday was found dead on the sea floor near the crash site yesterday morning.

The tanker had destroyed a 100-metre-wide docking platform and 80 metres of jetty belonging to Tela Kampuchea petrol company. The body of Sem Vannak, who worked for Tela and hailed from Prek Pnov commune in Phnom Penh, was recovered from under the debris.

“Divers moved those chunks out to bring the body ashore and handed it to the family for a traditional burial,” said Chan Phearum, deputy police chief of Stung Hav district.
