Canadian-American FRED BRACKEN Dies of Drug Overdose in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

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.

The meds on the left of the bunch are Tramadol, 100mg's... strong enough on their own not something you'd want to mix with anything else.

RIP.

He was recently sentenced to ninety days for this assault and it appears he just got out of jail and then made his way to Cambodia:

He was very vocal back home in his opposition to a medical marijuana dispensary being allowed in his neighborhood.

Very sad, given his views on race and religion he could have been one of the more open minded posters on the Hitler vs Churchill thread.

I am no pill expert but it does not look like the makings of an overdose to me.

RIP anyway Fred, we got plenty of shit stirrers here so you certainly won't be alone bro.
Yeah it is automaticly OD/heart attack if they see any meds or drugs in the room..
And it's a lot easier for police to say that if they plant those drugs in the room before taking the photo. Not saying they did in this case, but that might explain the unopened packages. They might want them unopened so the police can return them to the pharmacy afterwards and get their money back.

Is that a chalked-up line in the upper left quadrant of this picture?

It looks like there are two different pictures edited together.

That must mean that the rolling papers, pictured in the lower left of the top pic, are for tobacco.
