Princess Diana's stepbrother has died from a suspected drugs overdose in a run-down travellers' hostel in Cambodia.

Adam Shand Kydd, 49, was staying in the red-light district of Phnom Penh when he was found dead yesterday.

A Foreign Office spokesman said it had received confirmation of Mr Shand Kydd's death.

'We are in contact with the next of kin and providing assistance,' she said. 'We have no information about whether the death is being treated as suspicious.'

1. "suspucious"...I love English gift of understating things

an English noble "...died from a suspected drugs overdose in a run-down travellers' hostel in Cambodia... staying in the red-light district of Phnom Penh"

Yeah... just a wee bit suspicious there.

2. 'Hot-shots' are a fairly common way for drug dealers to off someone...

so it's not inappropriate to say what they did, imo.

3. Why moved to Gen disc?

This is breaking...

4. Cause who cares?

Seriously, this may be "breaking news", but is it anywhere near the level of stuff like Fallujah/Gaddafi/September 11 commission?

Not really. Enabling the cult of personality that is the British monarchy doesn't rank very high on the list of world events to be concerned about.
