Pete Boogs aka Boomer aka Peter Carlo Bogaerts Checks Out on Street 172 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

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.

I hope if you or your love ones pass they will be treated with a bit more respect from their friends instead of posting private posts over the internet.
He posted about his struggles publically so pull your head in, I posted nothing he didn’t post himself.

If you find no shame in it then that is your thought process. I am not here to get into a public row on a thread of a dead man. I personally find it inappropriate. You don't fairs fair.

Shall we just say he was a polarising character?

I'm glad to know that, because I don't post my struggles publicly, if I ever run out of strength, at least my dignity may be somewhat preserved.

Not posting on facebook at all is a positive thing and not taking part in social media ass well.
Maybe Peter lacked some people that he could count on in real life, but as I only knew him online that is just a guess.

So sad.
Went to his page and didn’t see this so I guess he set it for private viewing to only his Facebook friends, not available to public.

Did he post anything else in distress?
