A member of the government panel investigating a fatal stampede in Cambodia says the group has concluded the tragedy was caused by mass panic when an overcrowded bridge began to sway.
Mak Chito, an interior ministry official on the investigating committee, said in a television interview Wednesday that the panel will likely release an official statement in the next few days. He spoke on state-run Bayron TV.
Hundreds of people were on the narrow suspension bridge after attending a festival on an island in Phnom Penh. Officials say 354 people were killed in the crush of bodies as people tried to get off of the bridge.
Officials earlier said 378 were killed, but they explained Wednesday that some of the bodies counted at hospitals had died of other causes. They said 395 people were injured.
Prime Minister Hun Sen has described the stampede as the nation's greatest tragedy since the Khmer Rouge's reign of terror during the 1970s. A national day of mourning is to be observed on Thursday.

People who have lost their love ones can weep, cry, screem, yelling, pull hairs out, or walk up to Chroychangvar japanese built bridge to commit suicide.
However, the fact of this matter is the rotten culture of gross neglegence and incompetent of the authority undeniably and evidently there to stay for a long haul. So Cambodian people be braced for yourselves to live with these short sightseeing laggers to make your lives more dramatic.
We all know that this huge incident involve with hundreds of people death or even thousand was not happened only in Cambodian but One can legitimate make argument about this fact.
However, the point is that when you pull the string of fatal events(small or big) 6 Singaporean youth drown in boat race several years ago and put together; incapable of managing even tiny road trafffic, then you are wondered why this tragic magnitude can easily happened under their nose.
There is nothing we can do when life was lost but the question remain unanswer and perhaps it never will. Cambodian people in the future desire to have more compentent, much smart organizers and future outlook officials in the government.
What's the difference between yuon dog and french dog?
Nothing, they are all fucking dogs that will eat shit!
Your Majesty Samdech Ta former King Norodom Sihanouk,
Prime Minister Samdech Hun Sen,
Thank you for your both kindness and understanding.
What we need is prevention methods, not to let this type of accident happen again in the future.
It also makes me very worried to see so much alcohol allowed to enter or be produced in our beloved Kingdom of Cambodia? What about “ YA BA “ and other types of DRUGS from Thailand and Vietnam?
Can His Majesty Samdech Ta and Samdech Hun Sen stop all sorts of drugs coming to Cambodia? The accident may not be related to drugs and alcohol but just some thing that I could not sleep peacefully from now on to the future, in the names sake of true Khmer citizen.
Can Samdech Hun Sen kindly ask all 5 million Vietnamese illegal immigrants to peacefully return to Vietnam, so Koh Pich will not be too crowded more and more every day, every month and every year to come.
All Vietnamese illegal immigrants can easily come in and settle inside Cambodia even though they already have their own country Vietnam.
When Cambodia is too crowded, definitely we Khmer people can not go to settle inside Vietnam, can we?
Please Vietnamese, you said you came to rescue us from Pol Pot, and you don’t want to return home, it is not right according to 23rd October 1991 Paris Peace Agreement, can all of you go back to your country now.
Vietnamese illegal immigrants, you see because 5 million of you are inside Cambodia, it makes us too crowded and we wasted our lives at Koh Pich without good reasons.
Your Vietnamese Communism expansionist mind in Cambodia, is to give an excuse to China mainland to occupy your Spratly Islands, Parcel Islands, the whole of your Eastern sea border and perhaps the Northern border sooner or later.
5 million Vietnamese illegal immigrants in Cambodia, please go back home to defend your country from Chinese mighty economic invasion.
May I pray to God and the Lord Jesus Christ that those who have lost loved one will be comforted.
My condolences to all the victim's family.
Regards,
Kulen Monorom
