Mystery over Brit who died in Cambodian hostel as family are still not being told her cause of death 10 months on
Ten months on, Natalie’s family are still waiting for answers with the case remaining a mystery
Natalie, 22, was found dead at the hostel along with a Canadian friend she was travelling with.
Forensic tests carried out in the UK after Natalie’s body was flown home could not shed like on how she and her friend Abbey Gail Amisola died.
But now Natalie’s mum Wendy Bowler has claimed British authorities are to contact their Canadian counterparts to see “if anything has come up” linking the two deaths.
The two women were found dead in a room at the Monkey Republic Guesthouse in Kampot.
Hours before Natalie had messaged Wendy to tell her she wasn’t feeling well and might “get something” to make her feel better.
It is believed both women may have fallen ill with food poisoning and visited a local clinic to get some over-the-counter medicine.
Speaking from her home in Bedfordshire yesterday, Wendy said: “I know she had food poisoning, but for nothing to show up has really surprised me.
“I just find it strange that two healthy girls have died and no one can find out why at the moment.
*The original incident was reported in local media on November 14, 2017.
It might be that chemical used to eradicate bed bugs and roaches; Chlorpyrifos (CPS), sold under many brand names, is an organophosphate pesticide used to kill a number of pests including insects and worms. It is used on crops, animals, and buildings. It was introduced in 1965 by Dow Chemical Company. It acts on the nervous system of insects by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase.
Chlorpyrifos is considered moderately hazardous to humans by the World Health Organization.[6] Exposure surpassing recommended levels has been linked to neurological effects, persistent developmental disorders and autoimmune disorders.
Chlorpyrifos poisoning was described by New Zealand scientists as the likely cause of death of several tourists in Chiang Mai, Thailand who developed myocarditis in 2011.[28][29][30] Thai investigators came to no conclusion on the subject,[31] but maintain that chlorpyrifos was not responsible and that the deaths were not linked.[32]
