Snake attack possible cause for man’s death
AN unknown dead man was found in Phnom Penh’s Meanchey district on Tuesday. Police said the man’s body was found dead in the bush and was reported to the police. Police said that the man had been dead for more than five days based on odour. Police concluded the death wasn’t related to any crime because there was no evidence to support foul play. Neighbours said they usually saw the man intoxicated and police concluded that he might have stumbled into the forest drunk and got bitten by a snake. His body has been sent to a pagoda.
