I thought Ken Cramer (LTO), who passed away in 2016, was the Canby Publications owner though...did this Ken Long buy Canby?

Ken Long – well known in Phnom Penh expat and tourism circles as the publisher of the “Canby Guide” – is reported to have died in Phnom Penh.

Death by falling in the bathroom is not such a uncommon occurance. When i shower and the floor is wet i walk really really carefully like a couple inches per step, for a reason. Those slippery tiles here are not to play with and certainly not if you slip and hit the back of your head on them or god forbid one of the sharp edges used to keep the water inside the shower.

Can't remember if stairs back home were usually protected from slippages, perhaps rubberised around the edge in some way or not, but I've carried many bruises and dislocations from the attack of the wet stair here in Cambodia.

What a tragic story for a clearly very likeable fella.

RIP.

A brief digression from the sad news:

The bathroom is the most dangerous room in the home. Mine has multiple anti-slip mats, with suction cups on the underside, on the shower floor and outside the shower. An absolute must. They are easily found in many shops and not at all expensive.

From the US CDC via Seattle Times, back in 2011:

Headline: The most dangerous room in the home

The smallest room in the house can be a dangerous place.

According to the [US] Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, every year about 235,000 people over age 15 visit emergency rooms because of injuries suffered in the bathroom, and almost 14 percent are hospitalized.

More than a third of the injuries happen while bathing or showering. More than 14 percent occur while using the toilet.

Injuries increase with age, peaking after 85, the researchers found. But injuries around the tub or shower are proportionately most common among those 15 to 24 years old and least common among those over 85. People over 85 suffer more than half of their injuries near the toilet.
