Forest Carothers (American) Out Of Coma After Being Hospitalized by Nicholas O'Neill (Irish) in Shirtless Street Fight

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.

Sure, but that doesn't look like a recent picture, unless he has suddenly gone back to the US (or somewhere else, I don't recognize that as a local bridge) and his face has completely healed already.
I assume that pic was added to the GoFundMe page when they started asking for money, but that it was taken years ago.

Kind of the fundraising opposite of 'poverty porn.' Maybe 'better times porn.'

I hope he has the good sense to go home after this. And not use funding to keep being a drunken ass. Obviously I have no sympathy. These types will surely make it harder on all. They should deport both of em.

Are these guys both still in Phnom Penh? Was O'Neill ever arrested?

Ah, there may be an update.

Back in mid-2016, shortly after the attack, Forest's brother Ethan Carothers started a Gofundme fundraising effort that raised $5,245 for Forest's medical care. Ethan then reported that Forest had done a runner from Calmette hospital against medical advice sometime after awakening from his coma and that the money raised "should" be enough to pay the medical bills. No further update on what happened to the money or whether it was actually used to pay the medical bills after Forest fled the hospital.



Then, in February 2017, Forest himself initiated a gofundme plea. He said he still suffered from brain damage and that he wanted to sue O'Neill but O'Neill was sitting in prison. He asked for $5,000 for future medical care and therapy and flight back to the USA. He raised fifty bucks.

Carothers has a new FB page with updates this month, unclear where he is, but it doesn't look like Cambodia.

Wow, I wonder if he has the ability to let the dude out of Prey Sar Prison by dropping his complaint. Seems he'd take whatever money he could at this stage and cut his losses.
