Jack from Belgium. (Nick's Bar) is dead. RIP

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.

Know you asked for help on this site recently and got a lot of abuse.

That's nonsense. He wasn't an abused victim here. He posted about his overstay issues and was advised by multiple posters to go home to Belgium.

He responded: "Yeah yeah, heard it all before.
Next you'll be telling me to go home and watch the world go by staring out the window of a dreary bedsit. Ain't happening."

Now he's dead. If he heeded the advice of CEO posters, he might be alive.

That's sad......I had a surreptitious fling with one of his waitresses when he had the bar. She always had good things to say about him.

Then a year or so after I noticed him sleeping on the narrow step out front of some Christian outreach shophouse. I noticed that for months.......I always thought he was waiting on a pension check or something and would soon be on a flight back whence he came.

What is your obsession with a fund for expats? Most people have friends and family both here and wherever they are from who would help them to get back and on their feet, there is also go fund me. Those who don't have anyone tend to have burned their bridges home and abroad after multiple offers of help over the years. Why you think that expats should put their hard earned money into a fund to help every overstayer down on their luck is beyond me. You've come into money Pieman why don't you start this benevolent fund.

To be clear to readers this post is not directed at Jacks situation or himself, just at Piemans dribble.

I disagree. Guys who have close relationships with their moneyed families generally don't move to Cambodia. Many move to Cambodia because they are struggling in the West and aren't close with their families, and they stay in Cambodia because they calculate that it will be better than being homeless back in the West.
