American Man Attempts Suicide in Golden Sorya Mall

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

It seems an extremely odd method.
Suicide is normally not a public act.
Defies logic really.

With the accidental death of the security guy and now this- I would think the venue will suffer quite a loss in popularity given the belief in supernatural among the nationals.

I don't think logic has anything to do with it if the person in question had been smoking meth.

Besides many people who find themselves in what they feel is a hopeless situation will sometimes cut/stab/harm themselves in areas where they are sure to be found or even where someone can stop them/help them.

A sort of call for help.

But as I said before.. When meth/crack or whatever it is that he had allegedly smoked is in the picture, all logic goes out the window.
Alcohol is necessary so that a man can have a good opinion of himself, undisturbed by the facts

Remember when everyone said that about Koh Pich? Now it's the #1 teenage make-out spot in Phnom Penh.

Not really. He was just performing the double slit experiment.

many cutters do it for two reason

1. it allows them to feel something
2. a cry out for help

I realize he is in a fragile state but it seems if your going to off urslef you do where no one will be around to try an save you.
Sounds more like to me he did it to show his "love" to his gf. (Thai girls ( bar) often cut them selves for this reason
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Sounds like it'll be a huge loss to the gene pool if he's successful next time

Damn. Sorry to hear. What's his condition? Sounds like he might not have been dead when we put this up.

From what I have been told from someone who has visited him at the hospital he will eventually walk out. The concern is he may try to do himself in again or someone else that's part of this whole thing. Mentally he's a mess.
