Police in Cambodia are investigating the deaths and the Foreign Office has been informed.

A Crowdfunding page has been set up by a family member called: 'help me say goodbye to my baby,' which aims to raise £5,000 to bring Imogen's ashes home.

The page, which has already raised £4,533, said: "I need to raise money fast so that my darling youngest daughter and I can go out to Cambodia to cremate my darling Imogen."

On Facebook a family member paid tribute to Imogen, calling her a singer songwriter who was far too sensitive for this world.

A Foreign and Commonwealth Office spokeswoman said: “We are in contact with local authorities following the deaths of two British Nationals in Cambodia and are ready to support their families at this extremely difficult time.”

Sihanouk is a province in the south west of south east-Asian country, known for its beaches, tropical islands and the mangrove jungles of Ream National Park.

Set around a deep-water port on a peninsula jutting into the Gulf of Thailand, the provincial capital of Sihanoukville is lined with palm-fringed beaches, seafood restaurants and late-night bars. Overlooking the capital is the hilltop Buddhist temple of Wat Leu.
