did he die from the accident?
No treatment in time?
or
Of covid?

Very sad indeed.
He did wake up from coma but...
He died from the head trauma and several fractures.
He had the best treatment that was available but arrangements and transport are of course time factors.

Rudy Schmittlein, in his self-made bungalow paradise.

Rudy Schmittlein, 60, has been a globetrotter and diving instructor for 34 years, living on different beaches, mostly in South East Asia. In 2004 his life took a drastic turn when he was caught in the 2004 tsunami which hit Thailand and Sri Lanka. Four years later he decided to move to Cambodia and opened the Paradise Bungalows resort on Koh Rong. Julius Thiemann got the low-down on living in paradise from Rudy.

Evidently this wasn’t his first brush with death.

On December 26 in 2004 I was a victim of the terrible tsunami in Sri Lanka. Of all the people I knew there I was the most severely injured. I was flown out to Germany and put in an induced coma for 17 days. When I woke up and returned to life I realised I wanted to live in paradise in the here and now. If you don’t achieve that as a living person in real life you will never have it after. I don’t believe in a life in paradise after this life. Life should be beautiful right now.

Amen!

From friends from Koh Rong.

Condolences to friends and family of Rudy. A traffic accident can happen any time or anywhere, but Cambodian hospitals are not always equipped to deal with major trauma. RIP.

That's unfortunate. He seems to have led a very interesting life so there's that.

And he is missed by many friends, there's always that as well.

I saw some expat said he’d pay for all expenses so Rudy can be buried and claim recompense from the family. That’ll be a fair chunk including medical bills. Good for him/her.

Never knew him. Rip.
