Cambodians hold ceremonies for stampede victims

Thousands of Cambodians lit candles and made offerings to appease the souls of those who perished in a riverside stampede that left nearly 400 people dead as investigators tried to determine the cause of the tragedy.

The mass deaths happened on Monday as tens of thousands of panicked people tried to flee an island in the Bassac River across a narrow bridge during a traditional festival. What sparked the hysteric surge is unclear.
