Yes that reminded me of this piece from a couple of years back about US wardens, there's a bit about the one in Cambodia in it.

We are asking that people keep the comments respectful. We are still trying to piece together the last hours of my brothers very talented son. These pictures and comments do not help our family at this sad and confusing time. But please if anyone knew Matt or has any information we would welcome that. Thank you for reading

Thank you for your kind words Andy. From Matt’s mum xxAndy Crofts wrote: ↑Wed Aug 22, 2018 5:21 am He was my friend. A good friend. I had known him a long time and we had some great laughs together. He was a kind lad with a big heart. I’m in shock that this has happened or was allowed to happen in this place.
I hope you find some peace amongst the stars my dear friend. I’ll see you again

Re: Mathew King
Sounds like an aunt or uncle of Matt, on his father's side (from what they wrote).Tuna182 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 28, 2018 1:37 amWho is “we”? What do you need to know?

Very sorry for your loss.
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

I know like yourself Matt’s aunty has not used her real name. (Quite rightly) We refers to all his fathers side of the family and yourself I’m sure. Me and Matt had some great memories growing up and I’m going to miss him deeply. His Step Sister K x

A BRIT backpacker has been found dead in police custody hours after he was arrested following a bust-up at a Cambodian hotel.
Matthew Paul King, of Luton, Bedfordshire, had been staying at the Blue Buddha in Kampot, when he had a run in with the owner.
The 29-year-old tourist was pictured outside in shorts and a vest as cops arrived on August 19 to arrest him. He was taken to a nearby immigration centre and held in a cell but staff found him dead a short time later after he had apparently hanged himself.
A police spokesman said: ''A British man killed himself in the General Department of Immigration in Khan Por Senchey.
''The victim was Matthew Paul King. He was taken to Calmette Hospital but was pronounced dead there. Post mortem examinations on the man's body show that he killed himself.''
The Blue Buddha hotel in Kampot in on the southern coast of Cambodia has declined to comment on why King was arrested.
