ALAN ROLF JENSEN aka "King Kong" Dies in Phnom Penh

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.

Cleaned this topic of a few posts. Out of respect for the deceased and family, let's have no more discussion and speculation over his previous charges.

i would run into him and his mates from time to time around gsm back in the day. always a pleasant man who would listen and laugh and share some stories. never loud or crazy... like many of the rest of us. i was surprised to hear when he was arrested that time a few years ago.... lot's of talk then about an angry girl and a set up.
"there are 8 million stories in this naked city.... and this has been one of them."

King Kong was a friendly and cheerful man. A gentle giant.
I hope you have moved to a better place.
RIP.
