A 34 year old American man falls and hits his head on tiles, causing him to die instantly
Siem Reap province: an adult man of American nationality of 34 years old fell on his head on the tiles, causing him to die instantly.
A security guard of the hotel Terrasse des Elephants saw the fall happen on the veranda nearby the hotel’s east corner, the resulting panic among foreign guests, and the immediate rescue attempts by (expert) authorities. [According to] the security guard who witnessed the event, it took place at 6.25 in the morning on 30 October 2016, phum mondol1, sangkat Sway Dangkum, Siem Reap town.
Lieutenant-colonel Vann Rith, chief of the immigration office of Siem Reap’s provincial police, said on the afternoon of 30 October 2016 that the wife of the victim described the events to the authorities as follows; her husband had been drinking alcohol from the evening up until dawn in the ‘pub street’ area and then returned to the Terasse des Elephants hotel. He continued to say that after the incident, police experts co-operated with Provincial Technical Science authorities and a (medical) doctor from the Provincial court to examine the body. They concluded that the victim had drank alcohol beyond the limit, which could have caused a heart attack and fall over to hit his head on the veranda tiles, causing a burst blood vessel in the brain and immediate death.
[the Lieutenant-colonel] added that the victim was called PHILLIP HOUSTON ROLEN, was male, 34 years old, an American national, was a tourist, came to Siem Reap province on 29 October 2016 and was staying in the hotel where the incident happened in room 40 together with his wife. Currently, the body has been taken to be kept temporarily at Royal Angkor hospital while waiting for a decision by the embassy.
