British tourist Natalie Seymour found dead in Cambodia hostel

Written by on 15/11/2017

A British tourist and her Canadian friend have been found dead at a backpackers’ hostel in Cambodia.

Natalie Seymour, 22, and Abbey Gail Amisola, 27, have been named in reports as being found in the Monkey Republic Guest House in the southern city of Kampot.

Ms Seymour’s mother Wendy Bowler, who lives in Bedfordshire, told MailOnline that she had received messages from her daughter saying that she and Ms Amisola were feeling unwell.

The messages said they were going to try and sleep it off.

But police informed her of the pair’s deaths at 5am on Tuesday.

Natalie’s mother told Mail Online: "They were doing all these sight-seeing things, she loved all that sort of stuff.

"She told us every day where she was going to be going and what she was going to be doing, she always really wanted to travel and just wanted a break from work."

A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We are supporting the family of a British woman who has died in Cambodia, and are in contact with the local authorities investigating her death."
