More than 50 foreign tourists died in Cambodia last year, according to the latest Phnom Penh municipal police report.

The number of police incidents involving tourists stood at 280 in 2015, which deputy director of tourism police Dam Saray said was a decrease from 2014, though he could not give an exact figure.

The leading causes of death and injury in tourists were heart attack, disease, traffic accidents and suicides, with two people murdered while travelling.

Could this be one?

the execution-style killing of Denis Goncharov – a 31-year-old Russian found dead in late July 2015 with his throat slashed in shallow water near Otres Beach in Sihanoukville.

No they weren't, Mudcrab. In fact, I can't recall a single one falling into that category.

Khmer440 keeps a running total for each year and you can read about each case there.

I think the 50 deaths fall into the tourist visa category and do not include those on an ordinary visa or let alone overstayers. They statement concerns foreign tourists not foreigners in general. Cambodia is certainly much more lethal than just roughly one dead body a week. More likely 4-5 times higher
