Hok Lundy’s funeral was held on Monday 10 November in his house in Phnom Penh, located near the ministry of National Defense. An important security force was deployed for the occasion.

Several high ranking government officials as well as numerous police officers participated in this religious ceremony. General Sok Phal, the deputy national police commissioner, told reporters that Hok Lundy’s remain will be sent back to Bavet, Svay Rieng, for burial. “The burial date is not set yet. His family would consult a Chinese astrologer to choose the date,” said the No. 2 top cop. According to Sok Phal, the funeral procession will be held in great pomp in respect of Hok Lundy’s high rank.

Cambodia top cop found his demise in the evening of 09 November during a helicopter crash. The accident occurred at about 8PM, in the southeast of the kingdom, at about 80 km from Phnom Penh. Three other passengers, including General Sok Saem, deputy RAFC commander, and two pilots also died in the accident. The top cop left Phnom Penh at 7PM to travel to Svay Rieng, his birth province. “He had a special mission to accomplish in this province,” Sok Phal said while adding that Hok Lundy’s body was found lying about 5-meter away from the helicopter. He did not seem to have any injuries. The helicopter belonged to Sokha Helicopters, a private company owned by Sokimex which recently invested in 9 new helicopters including 2 Ecureuils (French Squirrel type helicopter) built by Eurocopter and a Robinson R44.

Although the cause of the accident is still unknown, heavy rain in the region during the accident could be the origin.

Nevertheless, an anonymous source who was present on the spot of the accident, indicated that the helicopter landed normally, but that it exploded once it touched the ground. This information still needs to be confirmed.

According to Khieu Kanharith, minister of Information and government spokesman, who was reached by Cambodge Soir Hebdo, experts were immediately dispatched to the spot to investigate the cause of the accident. “We are waiting for the official report from these experts in order to come up with the preliminary findings,” Sok Phal indicated.

    I don't get how this article states he was found 5 meters from the crash site with no visible injuries. Whereas other articles state that he was charred or that his body was severely dismembered.

    2:01: Because Cambodge Soir is a polically correct oriented newspaper and they don't want to make the government and families feeling bad.
    They would never write: oh there was no body, all the flesh meat of HLD was hanging around. Or maybe he jumped before the helico exploded, that could explain that...

    Hok has been cursed by people who wished he would be hit by lightning, because of his bad deeds. He was responsible for the 1997 grenade attack, the successive killing of journalists and the trade union activists, the human trafficing, the fabrication of " artificial killers" and other crimes..... He deserve this violent death.

    Hok is a muti-millionaire, a protector of bavt Casino and a notorious gambler. The Casino owner and staff are afraid of him but cursed him from behind.

    HOk go to the HELL without being able to bring with him his enormous wealth.

    Shame to the whole Hok family.

    I feel that the die of them (Hok Lundy, Sok Saem and other of 2 pilots) is normal life of human being, so it's not necessary to be suprised or condolence of their life....(Sic). But we are very regretable with the life of 3 khmer armies who were die to protect our countries by giving their life for us..... They are Khmer Hero who we will never forget them.

    We can't perceive what would our next-minute future be; therefore, try not to harm others. Otherwise, the time our death is the congratulation of many others like that of MR. Hok Longdy.

    I don't know how so bad he'd been when his was alvie that he had to die in a such miserable way, like has been broken by thousand of horses in Chinese traditional film.

    I hope that a new police commissioner general is a little bit better than Longdy.

    Hes he! The guardians of hell is putting him in a boiling water.

    Hok also ordered the savage crakdown of the post 1998 election protest where many MONKS were kicked and beaten,many people were killed and missing. Now his family and government invite monk for his funeral. Maybe the skinhead and fake monks Tep vong and Long Nget will be invited.

    Condolences to the bereaved family of HOK LUNDY, the General and the two pilots.

    BUT NOT ANY RESPECT OR TRIBUTE TO HOK LUNDY!

    They all were born at different time, date, place, But passed away at the same time, date and place.

    That's the ACTS OF GODS. JUSTICE DECIDED BY GODS.

    It is no use trying to hide how Hok Lundy died. HE DIED THE HARDEST.

    IT IS THE CAPITAL PUNISHMENT RULED BY THE GODS WHEN LAW AND JUSTICE ON OUR WORLD IS NOT EFFECTIVE.

    Hok Lundy committed sinful acts and GODS have the duty to punish.

    Karmas are all the truth in every society and religions.

    Hope that LUNDY'S DEATHS WILL TEACH THE OTHER TOP KHMER LEADERS SOME LESSONS TO BE GOOD.

    It's great pleasure for Cambodian People to know that one of the strong men in Cambodia who always act the crime died. And now, it's time for Hun Sen to be vibrated as he lost one of his hands. He can face the fail during the up coming Election for the Districal and Provincial Council.

    Ok ban haoy! i m done analysing this thing that happened to the fking yuon mtfer HLD. His death is so not ACCIDENT it is a motivated kill(im so happY that this idiot died) , and here are my reasons: 1). The Media first said the helicopter been exploded into pieces including HLD himself, but according to science Helicopters are made up of chopper which Lightning can never explode it into pieces. 2). THey told us he was exploded into pieces now he was brought to funeral and said his body was found with no injuries 5 meters away from the helicopter. So according to the above reasons this is the scenario i think happened to him: _When his helicopter landed all of his members and him got killed then the killers exploded the helicopter into pieces using nades/bombs to make it look like accident thats y the helicopter exploded into pieces as the pictures shown on this website, and the YUON's body is still in full form as he was killed by some ways else! i wish this fking mtfing idot corrupt freak got his soul burned in hell and never to reborn !!! thx god if this happed :D

    It's too sad to hear that Gen. Hok has passed away. Even thought, he is the 4 golden stars general, people of the world also did not recognize him as value leader as He was hired by Cambodian people to serve the country in exchange for corruption wealth, position, lives of the poor, lives of journalists. So he is not hero of Cambodian as other leaders that fitted for giving a sincere funeral. Camboddian people are not required to upset or share condolence to his family as he is Cambodian's employee. He was working for country and claimed many lives of people, wealth and other for his family.

    For me I don't need to even take my ice to see his family's condolence. NOBODY OWES SOMEONE, EVRYTHING IS JUSTICS.

    Death is inevitable. To say that death awaits those who are a demon at heart, is bullshit. As we all know, we all must go someday. To hope that they will die a slow agony death, is more like it. Hell awaits those escaped from their own persecution while they were alive.

    Here for something for you all to curious about. And don't let these fool CPPs fool you all.


    “If you’re in the air, and you get struck my lightning, the equipment that is in use at the time can receive what’s called an over-voltage,” Mayhew says. “It makes everything go a lot quicker, and the instruments will shut down because you’ve had an extra charge of electricity. And if the aircraft is struck mid-flight, the charge has nowhere else to go—it stays in the aircraft frame.” In that case, the chopper would discharge as soon as it touches the ground, so presumably all Sayid would have to do is reset the circuit breaker to get the instruments up and running, and it’s rescue time. “There may be occasions where some of the equipment will be damaged—basically burned out—if the protection circuit didn’t work,” Mayhew says. But that would mean the safety equipment failed.)
