Makes me a little sad. The guy didn't even make it to retirement age.

 

I hope he had a good life, and had no regrets. ????

 

RIP sir.

The death of a Kiwi teacher living in Cambodia has shocked and saddened his former colleagues and students.

Jill Pizer, who had worked with Robinson for the past four years at Future Bright International School, said he had been in Cambodia for 20 years and was living in Taphul village, Svay Dangkum town, in Siem Reap.

"Dan was a dedicated teacher who always had the students best interests at heart,” Pizer said.

But you don't know this person do you?. Why suggest his death was due to drugs? 

 

Several years ago the death of a long-term friend, age 51,  was reported on this forum. Due to there being medication evident in one of the photos the expert opinion here was that he was another drug-addict farang loser, accused of using "hillbilly heroin", 'no great loss' and on and on it went one more far-fetched keyboard <deleted> after another.

 

Fortunately, but not till after his two daughters had seen these ridiculous comments, moderators removed these offensive fabricated lies. Reality was he had been through extensive radiotherapy treatment, chemo, in Australia and was booked into a Queensland hospice for palliative care, however had wanted to see his former home and friends one last time in Thailand, and passed peacefully after lunch at his hotel,  heart failure brought about by the long-term cancer treatments.

 

Have a nice life, try not to die with a pill bottle in view, even a can of beer could ruin your reputation!

I have no idea about this particular guy, i know zero about him, but what i do know after following falang deaths in Cambodia was nearly always they seemed to be put down to Heart Attack, one exception i remember was due to fainting, so basically i have zero confidence in what they say the cause of death is. If it was a family member I'd investigate to be sure
