In a shocking discovery, an emaciated woman was found alive on a vacant plot of land in Phnom Penh’s Sangkat Bak Kheng area on May 17, 2025. The woman, whose identity remains unknown, was discovered lying near the intersection of Keng Road and Win Win Boulevard at around 11:10 a.m. She appeared extremely weak and frail, raising concerns about her condition and how she ended up in such a state.
Interestingly, a passing motorcyclist had noticed the woman lying beside the road as early as 5:30 a.m. that morning. However, the rider didn’t stop or report the incident, possibly due to a lack of awareness about the severity of her condition. It wasn’t until around 11:00 a.m. that someone alerted the local authorities, who promptly responded to the scene.
The police launched an investigation to determine the woman’s identity, condition, and the circumstances surrounding her presence in the area. While the authorities haven’t released any information about potential abandonment, injury, or other issues, the incident highlights the importance of public awareness and response in emergency situations.
The delay in reporting the woman’s presence could have had severe consequences, but fortunately, she was found alive. The police are still investigating and have yet to provide further details. This incident serves as a reminder of the need for prompt action and responsible behavior when encountering someone in distress ¹.
