Death of Cambodia's Grandfather King

Two nights ago Cambodia's former king Norodom Sihanouk passed away at the age of 89. Sources say he died of a heart attack in Beijing where he had been living for years receiving treatment for cancer. His body was flown back to Phnom Penh yesterday afternoon with thousands of people gathered along the capital's streets to pay their respects to their respected king.
