Cambodia's former king Norodom Sihanouk, a revered figure in
his home country who had suffered from a number of ailments in recent years,
died in Beijing on Monday, Chinese state media said. He was 89.
"Norodom Sihanouk has died in Beijing," Chinese state news agency Xinhua said, citing an unnamed official without giving further details. The ex-monarch had been a frequent visitor to China, where he received the bulk of his medical treatment.
