Australian English Teacher at Western University Jonathan Bond from Adelaide Dies at Home from Apparent Drug Overdose

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.

Helps to hide the blood stains.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

The bed sheets match the curtians? Oooh-lah-lah. So fancy. That just screams CLASSY. I bet there is not really a window behind those curtains.

:cry:
Only 24 years old. Are the deceased getting younger or am I getting old ? More and more under 40s seem to be having "heart attacks" in Cambodia. Is there something special going around ?
RIP. Sorry for the family - far too young.

Far out. Fuct indeed.
Thats bad enough to merit some sort of warning like they did in Amsterdam when they had some nasty "coke" going around.
So everyone, tell your friends to be careful out there. And stick it on FB or whatever. Not sure if it's being sold as C or H, but spread the news to be extra careful.

And yeah, I know, drugs are baay'd m'kay.

I'm pretty sure most of these youngsters have already made their minds up about this stuff. My friends don't involve themselves in narcotics.

Here is Jonathan Bond on Facebook announcing his plans to move to Phnom Penh:

Image

"HEAR YE! HEAR YE! Due to some unforeseen changes in my overall life plan I have moved to Phnom Penh, Cambodia for at least the next year.

I'm teaching at a uni and I'm about to move in to my very own apartment. As I result I will be using fb considerably more and may even post photos to prove this is not a elaborate hoax.

If anyone is ever in the country or has friends that want insider tips just hit me up. I'd more then happy to show people the cheapest and/or best places to drunk (among other things of course)."

Looks like he's been planning to leave Australia and travel the world TEFLing since at least 2011:

Image

"well....i have moved down to campbelltown, still working in the same place but not for much longer coz i am studying TESOL at tafe which is a 10 week course and then i am hoping to teach english as a private tutor in adelaide while i wait for my girlfriend to finish uni (she's 20 so she only has another year after this one) and then off to see the world. so pretty much i am on the fast(er) track to a career and an adult(ish) life."

A shame how quickly drugs can ruin everything for you. He didn't even last a year in Cambodia. Image
