British RICHARD ANTHONY OWEN aka TONY WELLS Passes Away at The PUB Restaurant in 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.

A lot of guys, um, reinvent themselves when they move to Cambodia. That's how "Rick Owens" from the UK becomes "Tony Wells" in Cambodia. It's suggestive that, for whatever reason, he was keeping a very low profile.

Ambulance was called but failed to get there in time.

RIP.

Do you think it was because of his job? I don't know about low profile, man. What more could he write to make it more obvious?

R.I.P Rick, a lovely genuine man, who loved to travel. No many people knew he was in Cambodia, but the people who took the time to be in his life did.

whilst he was still fighting, if he gets attacked and cut or injured, it could effect an upcoming fight, or his career

being a boxer doesnt make you invincible lol Tyson as intimidating as he was/is, doesnt stop someone running up to him from behind and stabbing/shooting him once or multiple times, hence bodyguards

wow, settling into the new job, a sign of things to come?
