French Bar Owner in Phnom Penh Stabs Himself to Death

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.

He didnt even act like it hurt at all and he still had to be wrestled to the ground by 4 police officers. I have no idea if he lived or died, but it was a truly disturbing event to see. Kids and women where screaming.even on the ground the guy was still shouting and screaming to the cops to get off him.
LSD definitely doesnt do that but PCP does.

A terrible tale RIP. This street has had some bad luck, not much foot-fall anyway and this lockdown must have destroyed a few businesses. A German guy died from an overdose on this street a few years ago and another German guy was arrested on this street for a crypto scam a few years ago. Not to mention the German owner of the Lone Brothers Bar on this street died in the Walkabout some years ago as well and a British guy died on this street in 2019, and then King Kong died on this street. Also Martini Bar did not survive on this street, not a lucky street for sure.

Stabbed 3 times in the chest?
That beats any Japanese ritual...
The poor guy.
If he did take his life, he probably was beyond fucked with his bar...
Rest in Peace Monseur...
I've personally seen an English guy stab himself multiple times in the chest and abdomen (very deeply) before anybody managed to disarm him. That individual was a bit depressed. He recovered after some surgery and hospital time.

Obviously, we can never know what happened for sure here, unless cameras and witnesses.

R.I.P
