"Cambodians bade goodbye Monday with tears, chanting and fireworks to former King Norodom Sihanouk,
their revered ‘‘King-Father’’ who led them through half a century of political tumult that took them into
the abyss of genocidal Khmer Rouge rule and back out again."
King Norodom Sihanouk’s body had been lying in state since he died of a heart attack in Beijing on Oct. 15 at the age of 89.
In the coming days, some of Sihanouk’s ashes will be scattered near the confluence of the four rivers in Phnom Penh,
while others will be put in an urn which, according to his wishes, will be placed on the grounds of the Royal Palace
near those of his favorite daughter, Kunthea Buppha, who died at the age of 3.
