Date of Death

edit

The confusing element is his date of death. The article originally had 1976 in one place and 1975 in another. The external source is confusing as the names do not match. Doktor Waterhouse 03:23, 16 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Unfortunately, nobody knows for sure. Like many thousands of other Cambodians he simply 'disappeared' after the KR came to town. To my knowledge no witnesses to his death have come forward and no records of his execution have been found - so it remains vague in every source I have. Paxse 10:32, 8 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Perhaps the article should be changed to reflect that? Doktor Waterhouse 03:12, 17 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Orphan status

edit

I've tried twice to de-orphan this puppy, KR databases, my Cambodian royal family books, other books, news search etc - but no dice. He definitely existed but I can't think how to link him anywhere else. A great-great grandson of Sisowath of Cambodia? I think he stays an orphan unless the rest of the family is built out or Cambodia Royalty Executed by the Khmer Rouge becomes an article.Paxse (talk) 09:14, 16 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
