RIP Sihanoukville expat Jim Gibbons from the UK

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.

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

"R.I.P. Jim Gibbons 64 from the UK passed away yesterday morning. He had fallen down his steps a couple of days ago and hurt himself badly. He died yesterday morning at 6am, presumably from internal bleeding. He will be at Wat Graom until tomorrow morning. His family is coming from the UK and will make final arrangements."

A real pity. Jim was a nice guy, I enjoyed chatting with him.

His boy Larry, who is about 6 will be devastated at loosing his dad.

RIP Jim, one of Sihanoukville's colourful characters.
