Very sad, indeed.reggie perrin's dad wrote:Hi
A sad topic for my first post.
My partner - friends with his wife - is sure they returned to Cambodia from Finland only yesterday. They had been living there.
Not sure how that tallies with the 'running a guesthouse with his wife' angle, but again, she's adamant that's not the case. The provincial home was too small.
He never struck me as a serious druggie, but I didn't know him well.
RIP
It's not clear who exactly 'runs' it at the moment, but it's called 'Navy's Homestay' and his wife appears to be called Navy (although spelled a bit differently on her Facebook page), and the contact info for Navy's Homestay clearly appears to be his contact info, so take that as you will.
And if he just arrived back from Finland a couple days ago, as you say, that also matches up with the dates the Homestay announced they will be closed. You also say their provincial home is 'too small,' which also suggests that while they are back in Cambodia and presumably staying at their home there, it's too small for guests to stay there at the same time.
Very sad no matter what's going on.

Actually, looks like the Homestay likely closed for good back in June of 2018.

That's definitely his wife's name.
Perhaps the guesthouse wasn't so much a tangible place as an attempt to generate some extra income, offering tourists a chance to see 'the real Cambodia' by staying with his in-laws. The package offered suggests something along those lines.
Condolences to his friends and family.

Most meth is smoked, and there are of course Yama pills. I don't think the unfortunate man's weight is such an issue. Not everyone who dies as a result of narcotics has been on a downward spiral for years, it can all happen very quickly. If there weren't fat tweakers all those dealers in the US would go bust pretty quickly.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Here is a video of police removing the body of Arto Rantonen from Lakeside #10 Guesthouse in Phnom Penh, Cambodia after being found dead by his wife, who were both on holiday from Finland:

I think he was, just not at the time of his death. Looks like they closed it down months ago and moved to Finland.fax wrote:So he was not living in Cambodia and married to a Cambodian named Nary who he ran a business with named Nary Homestay after all?General Mackevili wrote: ↑Fri Jan 04, 2019 12:28 pm after being found dead by his wife, who were both on holiday from Finland

How so? Finnish culture is pretty far away from Cambodia...fax wrote: ↑Fri Jan 04, 2019 12:31 pmSo he was not living in Cambodia and married to a Cambodian named Nary who he ran a business with named Nary Homestay after all?General Mackevili wrote: ↑Fri Jan 04, 2019 12:28 pm after being found dead by his wife, who were both on holiday from Finland

Actually a very plausible explanation. Getting anything more than paracetamol in Finland is hard and expensive.PhnomRon wrote: ↑Thu Jan 03, 2019 7:44 pmMaybe he was off the drugs in Finland and went back to his previous dosage when he returned to Cambodia and that killed him.reggie perrin's dad wrote: ↑Thu Jan 03, 2019 7:13 pm
My partner - friends with his wife - is sure they returned to Cambodia from Finland only yesterday. They had been living there.

My thoughts as well. Smack is much more likely than Meth tho, not many shoot up amphetamines.Mad-Milk wrote: ↑Fri Jan 04, 2019 3:33 pmActually a very plausible explanation.
