Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Phnom Penh: An Australian English teacher was found collapsed in the bathroom at Buter Fly and then he was brought to Calmette hospital where he was pronounced dead by the doctor. This shocking moment happened around 06:00 pm on 16 October 2015 at Butter Fly located at house #31Eo street 136 village #13 Phsar Kandal I commune, Daun Penh district.

According to Kampuchea Thmey Daily News, the foreigner who found collapsed in the bathroom name David Jonathan, male, 34 years old, Australian. He was an English teacher. He stayed at house #14 street 420, Beong Trabak commune, Chamkarmon district, Phnom Penh.

According to Am Sros, 26 years old , manager at Butter Fly, the foreigner came to drink at Buter Fly at around 2:00 pm on 16 October 2015. He drank 3 glasses of beer and then he came back again around 4:00 pm. Mr. Am Sros asked him what he want to order, but he didn’t reply. He just went straight to bathroom. Because he stayed too long in the bathroom, so staff and security guard went to knock the door, but he didn’t answer. So, so they opened the door and that when they found him collapsed. They later brought him to hospital for medical assistance, but the doctor said he already died.
Now, the dead body is being kept at Calmette Hospital. The primary assumption, he might have died from heart attack.

He looks very much like a guy who lives in my neck of the woods. Often rides past on a variety of motorbikes, but usually a Phantom.
I probably shouldn't say this, but for the past few years that he's been passing my place, I thought he was a 440 poster by the name of Capt.B
I must have been wrong.

RIP
