British Expat PAUL ANTHONY "TONY" ATHERTON (Former Manager of Shanghai Bar in Phnom Penh) Dies at Age 73

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.

No it didn't. It identified him as "Mr. Tony."

I'm just needling GONK. I was curious if he'd say "I started a thread saying Tony Byrne died because someone started a thread on Khmer440 mistakenly saying Tony Byrne died." I think he's too proud to admit that though.

And the "Tony" I am referring to to that just died is not his real name anyway :?
Really? Why wasn't he using his real name?

He was using his abbreviated middle name. Paul Anthony Atherton.

Haha, you are correct! I was also tipped off by the bald guy claiming to be SPECIAL FORCES from your post over there too. I thought it deserved a much larger audience than Khmer440 attracts these days, so I started it here, that's all (although I used a different source than you). :thumb:

Nobody mentioned Tony's last name, so a lot of guesswork involved this time. If I had to guess, he died outside of Cambodia, so public info about his death might be limited.

So is the Tony who features in the photos fucking dead or not? This is like Roddy who died at least twice.

That's the right Tony in the pictures.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Well I'm fucking lost, I don't know who's dead and who's alive, who's English, who's Australian and who was hard and who wasn't or even if that is the correct tense to use about the hard or otherwise live or dead people now. :shrug:
