It sounds like all the Khmer media has his name wrong, as per usual.
According to his ID that was found on him at the time of his fatal accident, his name is Philip Lee Powell.
Very unfortunate, and may he rest in peace.

The ability of Khmer media to get English names wrong is astonishing.
DAP news here

Incredible.

Incredible.
Truly unbelievable.
It's made it to the press back in the UK:
"A MAN from Poole has died following a motorcycle crash in Cambodia.
Phil Powell's body was discovered by Cambodian Police officers on Saturday morning in the Sihanouk Province, on the very western edge of the country."

Also from Fb, says that Phil had previously worked in PP as a bar manager on 136st, so there may be people he knew in PP that haven't heard yet.

He was managing Cozy Bar on 136 before he moved to Sihanoukville according to a post on TOF.
