I had a witness with me that I didn't hit him and it was Tue. night. Maybe the same idiot as before riding without any lights. Looks like a death wish to me, like the Cambos that ride their motos without lights.
I live in PP and on a number of occasions I have nearly "wiped out" a stupid barang riding a bicycle with no lights. There are also quite a disproportionate number of barangs that drive motos and dont wear helmets.

Temple Town early in the morning: dozens of foreigners make their way to sunrise on pushbikes without lights and preferably wearing dark clothing.
And the Barang 250cc dirt-bike group will never wear helmets in town as otherwise nobody will see who those cool cats are...

It seems the victim name is Johann Bran Cleereman from San Francisco, California, according to his Facebook profile and obituaries from his friends.
He was also featured in Vice Magazine for making his own absinthe on Koh Ta Kiev island off the coast of Sihanoukville and throwing absinthe-fueled orgies there on the beach.
Here is that article if you want to read it:

Here are a few that shows how highly he was regarded by his friends.

Looks like he moved his absinthe operation to Otres Beach some time ago, and was even writing a "survival guide" for Cambodia last year.
I guess he didn't read it.
Rest in Peace.

Whatever the precise details of his departure from this vale of tears, it surely seems Cambodia has lost the very sort of character that is and was
sorely needed.

Police Said “Heart Attack” Was the Cause, Residents Disagreed
Sihanoukville: Body of a foreigner was found by the side of the road around 6:35 am on 13 October 2016 along the road leading on Otres 1 located in commune 4, Sihanoukville, Preah Sihanouk province.
Police said the deceased named John William Cleereman, American, a tourist.
After having examined the body, police said the foreigner man died from heart attack. However even though the cause of his death was confirmed by both police and doctors, residents in the areas doubted about his dead and suspected that it was a murder, because the body was found in the small pond about 4 to 5 meters from the road. People said, if he had heart attack while he was riding his bike, the body would be lying on the road and there is no reason that he would be riding in the middle of the night for exercise.

RIP RED KING! must say, im equally surprised finding this written about him as hearing of his death. 'we'...meaning here in the states...didnt know until just very recently with little/no details other 'motorcycle accident'. johann is/was VERY well known...as a performer, musician, avid absinthe maker (has his own brand stashed in portland still) and raconteur extraordinaire. he wasnt just some drunk foreigner visiting there lol and had in fact been living there off/on for a good amount of years travelling to the states and back. the past few years living there full time after opening his own absinthe distillery/cafe. any details regarding his passing would be much appreciated. his west coast friends had his memorial on the 21st. long live the red king! https://www.facebook.com/synabsinthe
