Kompong Thom Province: An incident happened at 05:30 am on November 15, 2017, located at the back of a car repair shop near the mouth of Param in Kampong Krobao village, Kampong Kra Bov commune, Steung Sen district, Kampong Thom province.
As fisherman aged around 40, named as Sophea, would regularly toss an electrified line, connected to the mains, into the water to stun fish to eat and sell. However on this morning, he some how forgot to pull the plug before diving in to retrieve his catch.
Unsurprisingly, he suffered a massive electrical shock and died instantly.
2 of his buddies helpfully did a re-enactment of the incident to help police with their inquiries and test out the new camera phone. If you ever fancied fishing with voltage, here's how. Don't forget to disconnect before entering the wet stuff.

LOL. My native Angkorian friends sometime do that at the vicinity of the Angkor Wat stream after we got drunk at his place. I actually never paid attention when diving in to help them to collect the catch.
