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.

American Steven Simonsen Jumps to his Death From 4th Story on Street 136 in Phnom Penh (Next to Spider-Man Bar)

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Phnom Penh, Cambodia News: A 52 year old American tourist from California, STEVEN MATTHEW SIMONSEN jumped to his death on Street 136, from the 4th floor of Amari Watergate Hotel, right next to Spider-Man Bar.

He was instantly killed when he landed on the top of an Toyota Highlander. He had only been in Cambodia for a few days before he tragically took his life in front of a crowd of people in the country's capital.

May Steven Simonson rest in peace and condolences to his friends and family.

Not yet. We've added more pics in the Darknet Cambodia News forum, but he's not identifiable.

RIP.
