For whatever reason, Donal Creagh was in bad physical shape at the moment he died. This probably contributed in some way to his demise, but the official cause of death has not yet been declared by the Cambodian police forensic experts.
Warning: Graphic photo of deceased person.

Spoiler:

Irish media don't have much to add except that the family are receiving consular assistance.

Condolences to the family.

Donal was in trouble here a long time ago, and eventually after some intervention went home. I never met him myself but I knew about him. He had underlying issues which led to his demise. It could have happened anywhere. Condolences to his family.

This story is spreading like wildfire in the international press right now, including The Irish Times, who mentioned CEO:

"An Irishman has died in Cambodia after collapsing in a restaurant in the capital city of Phnom Penh.

According to local media he collapsed shortly after entering an Ethiopian restaurant in the capital on Thursday afternoon. A video taken at the scene shows staff and customers at the restaurant attempting to resuscitate the man before paramedics arrived.

Members of The Cambodia Expats Online forum reported that he was pronounced dead at the scene."

Don was a smackhead. On about a year overstay, no passport, no visa. He wasn't a bad lad, just rode his luck for a bit too long. I'm pretty convinced that this was a planned suicide. Know a guy who spoke to him about a week ago and suicide was mentioned. Don was pretty much down and out, Awful way to go but in his case it seemed inevitable. Pretty sure he had Hep C. Not the first and won't be the last. RIP

Wish people like this would just kill themselves in their own countries to be honest. Why should Cambodian people have to put up with people like this & the bodies afterwards ?

"To be honest", that's not being honest, it's brutal. Think of his family and friends who must all be sad, no matter how or why he died.
The guy is dead and it's the living who read our comments.
You can always start another discussion elsewhere on down and out expats in Cambodia and what you think should be done about them, but this is a thread about a real person who has died recently.

I don't think that's what was meant, I'm guessing that it means he was likely infected with Hep and all sorts of other contagious diseases. Much as you might be trying to help someone there is no sense in exposing yourself to pathogens.

I'm in Pattaya at the moment, and even the damn trees here have glanders.
