British man,CHRISTOPHER LIAM DUNNE, 31, Dies in Riverside Guesthouse, Phnom Penh

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 he wasn’t alone and no he wasn’t travelling alone.
R.I.P BIG BROTHER
I’m also disgusted that pictures of his dead body are being posted on news sites. Does anyone know how it feels to go online and find pictures of your dead brother?

It must be distressing but that's just something that happens here.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

That’s the way it is now sadly. If it wasn’t here it’d be on Facebook, which is how many families find out.

Don’t let that cloud your grief. RIP.

Georgia has started a GoFundMe to raise £3,000 to bring Chris Dunne's body back from Cambodia, although the GoFundMe says he died in Thailand.

"As many of you know my brother Chris Dunne was back packing in Thailand when he unexpectedly died in his sleep. Our hearts are broken and we just want to say goodbye but it will cost us 3 grand to bring him home and give him the send off he and we all deserve. Any donation would be incredible so we can bring him home and all say goodbye. Please help bring our boy home."

She's already raised about 270 pounds.

Weird. Is the family embarrassed he was in Cambodia? Sometimes when people ask me where I'm going on vacation I say "Um, Asia" and then I quickly change the subject.

Is there any way you guys could just accept that a family is in grief and not be total dicks about it? Asking for a friend... Chris mainly travelled to Thailand, did a dash to Cambodia, his girlfriend got robbed, they had to stay a little longer. There are reasons. Try for once to show a tiny bit of respect and not draw conclusions out your asses.

Note taken, but it was just odd to see it say that he died in another country.

And FYI, they have updated the text, changing it from 'Thailand' to 'Cambodia.'
