Mourners pray for former Cambodian King Norodom Sihanouk in front of the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, Oct. 22. Sihanouk, once an absolute ruler who freed Cambodia from colonialism before becoming a tragic pawn through decades of turmoil, died on Oct. 15 in a Beijing hospital. He was 89. His body will lie in state for the next three months before a traditional cremation ceremony is held.
