Freshie Boy Sok Vireak could have been saved from suicide if the family
had given US$500 to the police, a relative of the star says.
Sok Vireak, 19, was the third runner-up in TV 3’s Freshie Boy 2012 Contest, which honours the most handsome man in the nation.
On
May 24, about 3:30pm, he was pronounced dead after jumping from the
Cambodia-Japan Friendship Bridge in Phnom Penh, a popular spot for
suicides, reportedly after being dumped by his girlfriend.
Mam
Kim Eng, who claimed to be a close relative, said: “There was a fishing
boat and police at the spot, but nobody could save him.
They
said they would save the boy if they were given $500.” Kem Kong, the
police officer in charge of the area, said that claim was untrue.
“Some
people said the fishing boat asked for money to save the victim, so I
think people may be confused and think that the police asked for $500.”
