TWO NORTH KOREAN doctors have reportedly died of drunkeness after their wives injected them with an unknown substance to counteract the effects of the alcohol.
The Phnom Penh Post reports that the two men drank numerous cocktails at their home in Cambodia that caused them to develop a “very high temperature”.
The paper quotes a local police chief who says that police arrived at the house and found 14 North Korean nationals there, including the deceased men and their wives.
It’s believed those present had been eating and drinking for the evening.
An autopsy report concluded that both men died of a heart attack with alcohol cited as the cause.
Police chief Khan Khun Tith quoted one of the wives, also a doctor, as saying:
After arriving home, we [the wives] checked their conditions, and their temperature had reached 40 degrees Celsius, and their heartbeat was abnormal and their pulses abnormally weak.So we tried to save them by injecting medicine and serum to weaken the intoxication, but an hour later, they had a heart attack and died.
Police say that the deaths were reported to the North Korean embassy before they were informed.
The report goes on to say that police were at first suspicious of scratches on one of the victim’s chest, but accepted that he had clawed at himself due to the pain of the heart attack.

Wechat is an app worth investigating because every last bit of data in that is going towards Chinas social credits systems. The CCP had no fuss in banning Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Google, Whatsapp et al. But the U.S does this on two apps and they throw tantrums.
@Paul Cunningham: just becasue they ban the use of social media doen’t meant the west should do it also in retaliation. That would be mad! Trump has given no evidnece to his claims of spying however and it is a bit niave to think it is for the protection of citizens he’s doing it. Every single platform out there is gathering information. We all willinly offer our data for free.
@Paul Cunningham: not going to have debate with you the reasons, if they follow the law, then they are allowed doing business in China, but do they want to?
@Paul Cunningham: Strange comment. Sounds like you’re advocating particular laws while at the same time implying that they shouldn’t be allowed.
@Paul Cunningham: agree both countries are hypocrites. WeChat links to social credit system is completely BS. Mostly it’s for communication and hook up.
@Paul Cunningham: This “social credit system” is another piece of western propaganda against China. WeChat has nothing to do with it because it simply isn’t what’s described by the media at all. Most Chinese people would laugh when seeing your comment.
Shutting down a means of communication is worrisome.
The American regime is little too authoritarian. If they can’t buy up the competition, they ban them. Until they can buy them.
@Dean: Election interference concerns, be damned!
I hope trim succeeds with this one
Ever noticed how all the judges who overturn these decisions are West Coast or NY? And they usually lose when appealed?
