British Expat Philip Powell Dies in Sihanoukville on his Honda Air Blade After Crashing into Cement Wall

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.

It sounds like all the Khmer media has his name wrong, as per usual.

According to his ID that was found on him at the time of his fatal accident, his name is Philip Lee Powell.

Very unfortunate, and may he rest in peace.

The ability of Khmer media to get English names wrong is astonishing.
DAP news here http://bit.ly/2egGLBa manage to get his name wrong and the model of the motorcycle wrong too, "Air black"...even when both the victim's name is clearly visible on his ID and the motos model name is on the side of the bike in the photos.
Incredible.

Truly unbelievable. :facepalm: :facepalm:



It's made it to the press back in the UK:

"A MAN from Poole has died following a motorcycle crash in Cambodia.

Phil Powell's body was discovered by Cambodian Police officers on Saturday morning in the Sihanouk Province, on the very western edge of the country."
