Body of missing British tourist found off Cambodia coast
- Amelia Bambridge has been missing for a week after she disappeared from a beach party on October 24
- Her body was discovered in waters near the Thai border, said Chuon Narin, police chief of Preah Sihanouk province
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 said on Thursday.
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 on what happened to her after she disappeared from a beach party on October 24, but earlier this week he said she may have drowned.
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. I’m sorry to you Amelia Bambridge the round is on me when we meet again in heaven.”
