Unconscious ELT Teacher with Slit Wrists Sent to Hospital

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.

This would be good if they don't already know. However, if someone you care about really wants to end it all, unfortunately there's not much you can do.
I'm ambiguous about the "tough love" stuff. I believe that in this life where you control very little, the least you should have is the right to lead your own life as you see fit.
Then again, I also think that you should help your fellow-person when they are not in a position to help themselves. :friends:
So... i don't have the answer to any of this. Be nice if he was swept up by a support of family and friends who would take care of him, but there are reasons why the support network just gives up on certain people.
All the best. You never know.

Not sure this is true. Did a search on Facebook... he doesn't exist. Pretty much everyone has a Facebook account now and if you don't - it's probably because you have no friends or family to speak of.

It's called a cheap shot. Once again an opinion on a topic is pulled down because vladimir and yourself resort to digging up a poster's long ago past. By the same logic you could discount at least 5 other posters i know of personally, including a mod.... :stir:

Do you really think the moyes will give a shit that spooner took 10 ees at dreamscape '98 or had so much ketamine at a free party in wales that he fell over?

Am i begging for small change? Has my visa expired? Am i a nuisance to anybody outside of a few dickheads on the internet?

If i am, please remind me, otherwise carry on and discuss yet another barang waster, who nobody wil actually do anything about.

Just because he didn't appear in search results doesn't mean he doesn't have an account. There is a setting for who can find you via Facebook search: everyone, friends of friends, etc.
