Too young to go, RIP

This is a very hard time for his friends and family and some of which have found the news by this inaccurate and disrespectful post. Don't you think it is absurd that they have posted this article without consulting his family first?

Especially posting his personal and confidential documents photos. Not to mention that the graphic image which shows how unethical Cambodia Expat online is, and whoever posted this post is a sick minded, cold hearted and disgusting individual. A person's passing shouldn't be treated as some sort of online entertainment, those who comment above shared no compassion and intellect. If this happens to your closet friends or family. HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?

I hereby ask you sincerely to please delete this article so we can have some peace while moaning for David's passing. His friends and relatives should not find out about his passing in this way. A very poor written and low quality article written by some inhumane editor and this cheap and disgusting website.

David was one of the most loving person i have ever met, he was wise, smart, funny and compassionate. He does not deserve this at all.

So please take down this article and remove the photos

Very sorry for your loss.

We make every effort to edit out any information (like ID numbers, signatures) that could be used for the wrong reasons.

Unfortunately, these kinds of terrible events make the news in almost every country in the world. Cambodia is no exception.

We also put any images that we think may be offensive in SPOILERS so that nobody will accidentally see them who doesn't go looking for them.

Also, please feel free to add anything to set the record straight. We make every effort to report accurately about such tragic events as possible.

Again, very sorry for your loss.

If you are very sorry for our loss,

Can you just do what we requested please? You dont need his ID card, you already found his facebook account. His mother doesn't want people to have access to his photos at all. We are contacting Google in trying to block out any searches related to David. So please just take it off.

Yeah but Cambodia is the worst place for this kind of things to happen, its lawless and corrupted. I dont even know why you want to show his personal details, he is not an expats there. He was a visitor so it has nothing to do with your website.

Yeah it is FUCKING offensive, and its so graphic! Can you just take it down? Who are you to decide this is something you can post? Imagine your best friend passed away in somewhere alone and then suddenly some prick decided to take photos of him and post them online. And you found out by this way. Its horrendous!

we dont want to add in more details to your little fantasy story i am sorry, enough is enough. i am not helping you to co-edit this bullshit. Can you please take off the photo of David and the iD card. thats the least you can do as a normal person.

its normal in SEA to have pictures of the victims/diseased published in the local newspaper. seems, you failed already to have the papers taking the details down, so you try now here?

the early hours after a crime are most crucial. its important to publish details of the victim/circumstances: people might remember having seen them recently, talked to them, noticed something weird.

though, if the death was self-inflicted (e.g. drugs), the relatives usually try to suppress every reporting in the public. somehow understandable.

however, in the first place, some 23 year old guy died in some tourist street. so this and the circumstances are of course of public interest.
when its now clear, no other party was involved, there is still no need to come along here and insult posters.

I am going to be sensible and explain myself because i dont think you have read what i posted properly. Even though it is public interest as you said, i think it is unnecessary for you guys to share his ID card and graphic photo of his death. Why do you need to show that? Fair, people will want to identify but they can do so via social network and not by you. A Cambodia Expats online forum. You are not even a established certified journalist not a news station. So they have no right to do post such sensitive photo of the deceased.

Also in other cambodian news paper, theres no news relating to him and if you have some evidence please share it. i would love to see it.

And Now the friends and family knows, there is no need for any more you so-called identification of the deceased and your motive is done here so you can remove the post. Why are you keeping it on here is nothing but inhumane, disrespectful and inconsiderate to his friends and family.

As far as i concerned being one of the last person to contact him, you have no idea what you are talking about so lets just stop there. Of course we want to suppress this post, because of the ID card and the graphic photograph which i have mentioned so many bloody times but you dont seem to understand.

it is interesting to hear these words from people like you, i always believe you deserve how you treat the others and someday this will happen to you somewhere in SEA and your parents and close friends will find your photo like this.

Why i was rude is because it is illogical to understand the reason behind keeping this post. I mean if you do so simply want to generate your visitation on this website or this post. You are seriously SICK. From what General Mackevili replied, i understood and felt his/her compassion with what happened. so i did feel bad after speaking so emotionally. But you? i think i dont need to say anything else. We both understand.

We want the photo of ID and David gone. His friends and relative do not need to find out this way. its so cruel.

I do agree that if the family wishes to have personal details like ID card pic removed it would be very sensible to oblige.

I feel uneasy about what I feel is new trend on both sites but stronger here to compete on a tabloid basis.
I prefered when news were told and heavily discussed and or joked about while remaining more anonymous, especially when death without foul play related.

No, you really shouldn’t publish articles like that. Just because dumb, respectless, contemptuous Cambodian newspapers do this, doesn’t mean that YOU should do that. The quality of this board has fallen quickly.

Screw the complainers who contribute barely anything here themselves. The rest of us are responsible for not only providing the content for you to read but also meet your personal moral and quality standards too?

As far as the subject of this thread, anything that makes newspapers is fair game to discuss and post. However, we should take into consideration the family and friends of the deceased who took the time to register on CEO and voice their objections. We should be able to accommodate those requests to remove pictures and copies of IDs when directly asked.
