Sorry to hear about this whole ordeal.bobby_lappin wrote:Can anybody help me, I am a relative of Dean McWilliams, we have no way of contacting him, we have got in touch with the hospital who discharged him at 4am this morning after we explicitly told them not to do so until we got the chance to speak with him. He has no money, no phone, no passport. He was last seen at the happy house guest house collecting his and the deceaseds belongings, we don't know how he got there or where he is planning to go. Dean would have been a recreational drug user but we fear with what he has been taking over there it could be a different story now. Does anyone have any ideas how we can start to trace is whereabouts or start an appeal for him to contact home, he is no doubt too afraid to contact home thinking he is in trouble but all we want is his safe return home.

How do you know he has no money, phone or passport? Did he not have these things at the time of this incident?
Hopefully someone will read your post here on CEO and be able to help out, and I see that Rama already suggests he sent you a PM.
And I wouldn't be too upset with the hospital. They likely saved his life, and he's an adult so they can't be faulted for discharging an adult without forcing him to call home.
Very kind of you to just want his safe return at this point, and hopefully he reads your message here on CEO as well.
Best of luck with it all.
I've checked into several hotels over the past few weeks in Cambodia without needing to show any ID, so I'm sure he could too, and could probably just promise to pay them later if he looks honest enough.

Re: British Drug Smuggler Martin Stephen Hale Dies of Heroin Overdose in Phnom Penh and Dean William McWilliams Hospital
Few days before the incident he had contacted home as he was running out of money and needed money for food.. or so he told us, he sounded desperate to get home, we sent over some money but not allot.
Reason we are annoyed with the hospital is we agreed we would pay his medical fees, they have held his passport in ransom, now we have no way of contacting or locating him, he lost his phone at the start of his trip and was using his cousin phone when contacting home, with him now dead we literally have no lifelines to contact him or him to contact us. With the death of his cousin if he even knows we fear for his mental state and what he might try do next.
We are greatful to the hospital for saving him but we are just fearful will he do himself harm being isolated in a foreign city, he's not the most streetwise character.. he might be a adult but right now he needs a baby sitter haha

You said he went back to the guesthouse to pick up their belongings. Could he have also picked up his cousin's phone? Definitely worth trying to call it again.

I would like to ask the author of the post, why you wrote that British smuggler ? I had to mention the Martin Stephen Hale never been convicted of what is written in the given link. Martin Hale was acquitted by a jury . And Martin Hale is not British , he is Irish. He used only a British passport

Want to find him??bobby_lappin wrote:Can anybody help me, I am a relative of Dean McWilliams, we have no way of contacting him, we have got in touch with the hospital who discharged him at 4am this morning after we explicitly told them not to do so until we got the chance to speak with him.

Get on a plane tomorrow and bring enough money to pay his hospital bill so you can get his passport back and enough money for a 2 week stay. Once you are here people on this forum will be able to advise on the best course of action and maybe even give you contact details for people/police who can help. BUT being here will be way better than trying to do it from back home if you are that worried he might be in a bad place.

Acquitted in court and OD'd in Cambodia....... Just think... If he had been found guilty he'd still be alive today.Air lines wrote:I would like to ask the author of the post, why you wrote that British smuggler ?

Why do you think so ? He had become a guilty even if it was not ?IraHayes wrote:Acquitted in court and OD'd in Cambodia....... Just think...

We only have a limited number of characters for topic titles, so "From Northern Ireland" and "Later Acquitted" wouldn't fit. However, we clarified it in the very first sentence of the article and even linked to the source of that info.Air lines wrote:I would like to ask the author of the post, why you wrote that British smuggler ?

Also, do you have anything to show that Martin Stephen Hale was actually acquitted? That would help clear things up even further.
Are you saying he wasn't a drug smuggler and was rightly acquitted or that he was a drug smuggler and was luckily acquitted?

I do not know whether he was a smuggler of drugs or it was not . I know Martin Hale was acquitted of the charge . The first lawsuit was a draw , a second lawsuit was declared innocent . If was not guilty law prohibits write about someone smuggler

But if you had to guess?Air lines wrote:I do not know whether he was a smuggler of drugs or it was not .
It seems the BBC was allowed to write about his alleged crimes even though he was found innocent as you say.
You have no links for this updated info?
