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.

They simply misspoke. It was supposed to be "heart attack".

yup, people dying, overdosing & committing suicide doesnt hit the news when it happens in their home country, they just end up being a statistic, someone dying abroad gets a little more attention

theres unfortunately about 6000 suicides in the UK every year (16 per day)

In the US as I'm sure UK the majority are young men (i.e. 20-40 Years) I think I read that suicide is the biggest killer of this demographic. If people feel low I hope they would be able to reach out to someone. I often see in the Thai blogs they have the Samaritans however having done a rudimentary search I dont see them here....does anyone know if they or similar exist in Cambodia?

And at least 10 overdoses a day in the UK too. I agree that cases like that don't even make the local press in the west as they are so common, unless they involve someone famous. A friend of mine in the early 90s was the daughter of someone famous, and she was quite a mess. When the press caught up with her they crucified her, and not so long after she hung herself. The Cambodian media tends to focus on grim stories and brutal crimes or accidents, I'm not sure it's a healthy obsession. A misbehaving or fucked-up foreigner gets a lot more attention than a local doing the same. Meanwhile the world just keeps on turning. 8-)
Silence, exile, and cunning.
