New Zealand man committed suicide in Phnom Penh guesthouse

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.

I wonder who wrote the note on the desk. Him or the police?
(Name, nationality, passport number, dob, date of death, cause of death, home address).

Not his home address, it says "advise NZ consulate, Bangkok...", I think he wrote it himself.

His name seems familiar to me though (although perhaps not an uncommon name).

RIP

Is anyone keeping a tally of those crossing the Styx?

At one time, TOF had a running score - Japanese voluntarily departing this life and many
other reaching The End Of Their Earthly Journeys* by various means.

Long suicide note there. Must have been a long list of victims of his scams he was apologising to. His family will be impressed by the video, what an idiot to have something like that on YouTube.

Wonder if he had been lying low in Phnom Penh the entire time people were trying to find him ?

Perhaps guilt got the better of him in the end, or perhaps he ran out of others peoples money
