RIP Kiwi; John Broadbent Dies on St 135 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.

Incase you did not know bar owners got quite a big burden on their shoulders too, especially if their clients does not pay their bills.

It would be a weird world where you can not ask your customers to pay their bills scared that they might kill themselves even if its sad that it went so far in this case. Hard to blame the owners for that.

Apparently some people were under the impression this was me, not sure how they got that idea, but I can assure you that I am alive and well.

My condolences to John's friends and family. I had met John a couple times briefly, he was former NZ Airforce if I recall correctly, very sad and unfortunate that he felt the need to take his own life.
