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.

Was not a victim on this site...

Yeah, and he was also advised where to get off
And Trolled mercifully. A man who was extremely vulnerable.

The Daun Penh neighborhood is full of desperadoes. 172, 136, 104 an 51 are all packed with creepy fuck-ups who think they are living the Phnom Penh life. Most people I know live far from that area. Some of us might come into the Riverside the odd time to hit whatever restaurant or bar but generally stay away from that area. It's funny when people talk about bubbles when the only experience they have is living in one of the most obvious ones.
Exactly this. The point being Pieman thinks everyone here is the same as those he knew from his time going from one 50 cent beer bar to the other across 136/130/172 and therefore a find should be set aside as we are all on the brink of financial disaster. As JB points out many don't live around that area much less frequent it these days. Save for a trip to Larry's or Garage once in a while I rarely go there.

Additionally most people I know are settled and have good jobs and know how to save money and are far from being destitute and would have the family or friends to assist if they were in a pinch.

This is some poor soul's death thread.

Back on topic: I'm beginning to wonder why there are no reports of his death anywhere, except for the OP. I mean, the way he was apparently living should have made headlines like "Foreigner found dead on the street" or similar. Nothing...

Who can confirm the news as reported by OP?

Before the known XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXX gentlemen derail this thread again:
Independent confirmation could be obtained from:
The Belgian honorary consul of Cambodia, Mr Thierry Dalimier, phone (+855) 12 840 056
The Belgian embassy in Bangkok
Calamet hospital
The Immigration Police in Sorya
Or generally every other holier-than-thou alcoholic that saw him on the ground before he was carried away, That is if they can remember that evening.

And that's exactly why this normally would have been reported elsewhere, as it always is, except in this particular case.

Lots of people die here without it being "reported".
Just call the consul if you are that curious about your old pal Jack. Just let him wake up first, it is 2.30am in Cambodia after all. I am certain he's got a regular life to attend to, unlike some others.
