This is a photo of me and Sovann (Heng’s Uncle) he is a year older than me, 38.
The reason that I am posting this picture is that he died at 07:00 this morning in Pursat province.
Yesterday evening he just collapsed, unconscious and having trouble breathing, some of his neighbours spotted him laying on the floor and went to help, after trying to wake him up they took him to a clinic in Pursat (laughingly called a clinic if you had seen the rundown shacks that they call health centres and hospitals in rural Cambodia)
The ‘doctors’ were unable to revive him, I was going to pay for a transfer down to Phnom Penh today, where at least you can get access to trained and qualified doctors (provided you pay of course)
Unfortunately, first thing this morning he just stopped breathing.
Nobody seems to have a clue what was wrong with him. All the family headed up North West to Palin this morning, including his wife who was staying with us here in Phnom Penh for a few days seeing the family.
