LTO Cambodia: Death of Sihanouk: 118 days of links

The Cambodia Daily, October 16, 2012

'King Father Norodom Sihanouk Dies at 89'

The Cambodia Daily also published a sensitive and informed obituary online the morning of Oct 15 within hours of Sihanouk's death, ('The Cambodia Daily: King Father Norodom Sihanouk Dies at 89'.)

The following list of links to articles covers the death and funeral of King Father Norodom Sihanouk from the day of his death through today. It is not comprehensive but (I believe) includes most of the major articles on the subject as well as articles addressing all of the important events, turns and announcements related to the death of the King Father. Articles in bold are of special note of some sort - either particularly good, contain unique content or made some sort of significant impact on the on-going discussion of Sihanouk's death. Bolding does not necessarily mean that I think the article is good or agree with the content. For example, The Fantasy of King Sihanouk by Philip Gourevitch was a particularly awful piece, inaccurate and biased, but generated a lot of reaction and discussion and led to one of the most interesting and heart-felt pieces on Sihanouk (and my personal favorite,) An Ode to Norodom Sihanouk—A Rock Star King by Kevin Barrington. The Cambodia Daily and VOA both offer rich sources of information on the death of Sihanouk and are available online. The Phnom Penh Post also published several informative articles over the course of the past three months, but as the Post articles are only available online for a short period without subscription, I have not included them in this list.
