RIP Kiwi; John Broadbent Dies on St 135 in Phnom Penh
Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): On 14 December 2021, a male foreign national, aged 60, died after jumping to his death from his apartment, apparently due to facing a personal crisis, including perhaps not having enough money to pay his rent and other living expenses.
This shocking incident happened at 7 am above The Deck Bar and Restaurant, located at 68 AB, Street 135, Toul Tompong I, Chamkarmon, Phnom Penh.
According to police, the victim was JOHN STEPHEN BROADBENT , a 60-year-old New Zealand national who was living in a room above the restaurant. His surprising death was soon attended to by police of the Chamkar Mon district. Forensic Police inspected and confirmed that the victim died from jumping from the second floor of the restaurant into the condominium next door.
The body was taken for safekeeping at Wat Teuk Thla, waiting for family and relatives to receive his body for funerary rites.
RIP, and condolences to the family and friends of the deceased.

RIP
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

RIP. That's just a few doors down from my place. Times are hard all around. Being in a foreign country with personal money problems is never simple nor easy.

Hate to be that guy but there's quite a few people at The Deck who owe the new owners money. I'm sure they kept pestering him about it and he finally snapped.. Hopefully Paul and Anna can come back and assist the new owners in getting their cash back.

Really sad. I didn't know the guy, but that's just terrible.
What is The Deck ? A guesthouse owned by foreigners ?

i didn't know the person but that is one thing of concern when living in Cambodia as an expat. Having a support system of people/friends/family.
Manhattan keeps on making it, Brooklyn keeps on taking it

This is something you need to set up early on.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Close. Mainly a bar, with I think only 1-2 rooms rented out, owned by foreigners. Good place, actually.Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Wed Dec 15, 2021 6:57 pm Really sad. I didn't know the guy, but that's just terrible.
