Australian Robert Cameron (Teacher at ICS) Commits Suicide By Jumping Off School's Rooftop in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Phnom Penh, Cambodia: Robert Craig Cameron, a 63 Year Old Australian expat born in Barranquilla, Colombia, jumped from the 6th floor (presumably from the rooftop or classroom window) and was found by a fellow teacher at ICS School, and was killed from head trauma.

At 9:30 this morning another teacher named as Tash Martin went outside to smoke a cigarette and noticed a dead body. When they got closer to inspect the body they realized it was their co-worker, Robert Cameron.

ICS International School/ICS Institute/ICS English Institute is located on Street 214 in the center of the capital city.

So far it is unclear why Robert Cameron wanted to take his own life, but police have ruled his death a suicide.

His body has been given to his Cambodian wife and his embassy has been notified.

May he rest in peace and condolences to all his friends. If anyone has a better picture to remember him by other than the passport scam we used, please send it to us and we will update this article with it.

This is the second English Teacher working at ICS to have been found dead in the past couple days. 2 days ago Steven Cramer, an American at ICS was also found dead. Mr Cramer was found lying dead in his bedroom by his wife and his death as ruled a "heart attack."

More curious details of Robert Craig Cameron's death, including images from the scene of where his body was found are in CEO's Darknet Cambodia News section:

One has to ask: What the hell is going on at ICS?
BTW, what does ICS stand for, anyone?

The daughter he kidnapped in Scotland? Or a new daughter?

I dunno, if your visa was due to expire in two weeks would you wait any longer to extend it?

I believe it stands for International Computer School.
