British expat from Jersey, Paul Brian TRENT, found dead in Kampot 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.

Anyway RIP.
It's real. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jersey_passport
There was a pretty good police procedural that took place in Jersey back in the early 80's, if I recall. Bergerac, I think.

A British expat man from Jersey, who was discovered dead in his Kampot hotel room yesterday morning, 11 November, has been identified as 52 year old Paul Brian TRENT.
Forensic investigation revealed that the body was not discovered immediately. Cause of death has not been given by Kampot police. RIP

Could this be linked to the two other deaths in Kampot?

I wouldn't think so. He apparently died of natural causes, i.e. being an expat in Cambodia over age 50.

Is that Paul the barman from the Magic Sponge Kampot?
Given that the pic is 9 years old he bears a striking resemblance
Am hoping I am wrong

Channel Islands were the only part of England occupied by the Germans. Everyone collaborated, women and men. Men worked building fortifications alongside slave labourers from concentration camps who died in their hundreds. The locals made good money working and the tomato growers made fortunes. Many made hundreds of thousands of pounds during the war. The islands economy boomed.
Hey vlad, that avatar reminds me of that Bus Stop Brett from Battambong who got whacked over the head by his missus with a frying pan. She must have used the open side because he had this semi circular cut on his forehead. I wonder if he still carries the scar? Bus Stop Brett Battambang, sounds like good stuff for a limerick.
