Awful, awful news. Peter was a pretty good bloke, all-in-all, and remarkably perceptive at times. The first time I met him he intuitively picked me by my K440 handle, despite the fact that I'd neither announced the fact that I was returning to Phnom Penh, nor mentioned the site in conversation. Indeed, we'd only spoken a few introductory sentences together when he said, "You're Falcon Randwick, aren't you". I remain astounded by that.
Peter was a proto-legend in PNH and deservedly so. My deepest condolences to his family. RIP KiR...

When I saw the news this morning on CEO, I was totally shocked. As others have alluded to, he was a controversial person and by no means a saint, but few of us are. I had a number of disagreements with him in the past, but going like that is a total shame for all those who knew him, both online and offline. He certainly entertained us all over the years with the site and the banter and crazy stories it generated. I hope that in time his wife and family find strength. RIP
As a side note, I agree with charlie UK in that perhaps it's time K440 took a different approach to death threads (news articles and so forth) and the comments which they generate. I don't think anything about the past should be erased. I mostly mean commenting on people's appearance when found dead on their bathroom floor with only dirty underwear on, jokes and puns about the deceased and other such comments should be kept for the barstool. I like dark humour as much as the next guy, but I've always found it slightly distasteful when people made such comments about someone they didn't know, especially considering the deceased's grieving family and friends are likely to stumble on the thread in the following days or weeks.

That's not how KiR would have wanted it. He was always leaving 'below the belt' comments when people were found dead with their ass up in the air.LexusSchmexus wrote:I mostly mean commenting on people's appearance when found dead on their bathroom floor with only dirty underwear on, jokes and puns about the deceased and other such comments should be kept for the barstool.

A most excellent cunt amongst cunts from whom I learned and passed on all kinds of wonderful insults such as douche nozzle, twatflannel etc.
Fly on lad.

I know. He certainly was one of the fastest on the trigger for those, but that's what I found disturbing about it. It's always easy to make snide comments about dead people you didn't know. Comments about their appearance, puns about the way they died, etc. But for some odd reason, people tend to keep quiet or are insulted and cry out when it's someone they knew. I was just thinking that maybe it's time the site/moderators took a different approach... Then again, I didn't know KIR personally so can't comment on what he would have wanted, but Rob's post makes for a good eulogy in it's own way so now I'm not too sure what to think...Captain Bonez wrote:That's not how KiR would have wanted it.

Such sad news. My condolences to Peter's wife and family, and those of you here on K440 who knew him well.
RIP KiR.

Terrible news. Have known Peter almost as long as I have lived here. Thoughts are with his wife and family back in the UK.

If it's what Peter would have wanted, then why is nobody making snide comments now? I'm not because it's not really my way. But I never met or knew the guy past his online persona, which I really took objection to.
Friends of mine died and he was way too quick to go for the lowest form of knee jerk humour. Funnily enough, some died the same way he did, wife, expat, hard working, tragic accident.
Shame for the wife and family, but I wont miss his input one bit.

sad news
"What are they going to say about him?
What?
Are they going to say he was a kind man?
He was a wise man?
He had plans?
He had wisdom?
Bullshit, man! "
