Pete Boogs aka Boomer aka Peter Carlo Bogaerts Checks Out on Street 172 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

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.

who is glorifying? I am suggesting if he did indeed seek to end his life then it is nothing to feel shame over.
That's not what you said at all. You said this:

"if he chose his path out, as my brother did. Then he is a brave bold man in my eyes."

When you say that if someone committed suicide, that makes them brave and bold, it glorifies and romanticizes suicide and encourages other disturbed people to commit suicide. Knock it off.
Correct sir, I stand by my comment. I'm happy for you, you've clearly never had to experience those dark thoughts or had friends go through it, I suspect the few friends you possess would feel too ashamed to reach out to someone who felt that may help them turn that dark corner who would belittle them as you do. As they say sir, stay in your lane of nitpicking over comments and what you actually do best, exposing fraudsters. Leave the compassion and understanding for those who have it. I wish you well as I do Mr Pete's loved ones. I bud you good day I know how your arguments go. Have a beer and unwind and thank your luck you have no idea of what drives people who had so much to live for, like my brother, like Mr Pete Boogs to their adult choices and drop your asshat attitude.

Thanks, John

a few of us tried talking him out of the idea over the weekend,
as we do everytime hes in a dark place and reaches out over facebook,
very sad to see he finally gone past his breaking point, wish there was more i could have done to talk him round,
some people have their impressions of him, but his heart was good and took care of the people who he cared about

will likely bump into your crazy ass another time Pete, in another place...
RIP bro!

What about Hitler? Or Genghis Khan. Mack clearly has issues with him. Apparently he liked to make threatening remarks.

Well OK, theres obviously limits, but I don't think we could categorize him as another Hitler or Genghis Khan.

Little unfair to lump the great Khan in with Hitler.
Too weird to live, too rare to die

hope his suicide doesn't open a can of worms.
I've never heard the Cambodian authorities describe a death as voluntary overdose.

Either way Rest in peace brother.
