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

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.

Lets hope he didn't give it to anybody else!

Yep, I'm sure the owner will be taking it to the local Wat very soon, to have some holy water sprinkled on it and some red thread tied around the rear-views.

Khmer's are pretty prickly when it comes to ghosts.

Anyway RIP, tragic all around.

Wonder if this will be a trend with more people coming over from pattaya.
Foreigner jumping from buildings like this is something very rare here, as far as I can remember.

Suicide is pretty high up there in illnesses.

Interesting. Someone mentioned HIV in connection with this guy.

Do those packages look like antiretroviral medications or something different?
