PHNOM PENH – The body of a 21-year-old British tourist was found floating in the sea more than a week after she went missing from a Cambodian island, police told Agence France-Presse on Thursday (Oct 31).
Amelia Bambridge was discovered in waters near the Thai border, said Chuon Narin, police chief of Preah Sihanouk province.
“We found the body of the missing British woman,” Narin said, adding it would be taken to nearby Sihanoukville.
He did not speculate what happened to her after she disappeared from a beach party on the island of Koh Rong on Oct 24, but earlier this week said she may have drowned.
Her brother Harry Bambridge confirmed in a Facebook post that he had identified the body.
“It’s my little sister Amelia,” he wrote. “There’s nothing more I wanted (than) to bring her back alive,” he said. “I’m sorry to you Amelia Bambridge the round is on me when we meet again in heaven.”
The discovery brings a tragic end to a desperate search involving more than 100 members of the police, army, navy and Bambridge’s relatives.
