Witnesses said the stampede began after several people were electrocuted late Monday on a small bridge lined with lights connecting Phnom Penh to nearby Diamond Island. Most drowned or suffocated, or were trampled to death trying to flee.

State television said at least 240 of the dead were women, citing reports from two city hospitals.
