I can't make out much of what it says though. Only a few words. And 88E3, st.118
Maybe Felgerkarb can translate.

Was it suicide? Boy, the place really is turning into Pattaya.
There aren't any good places to jump from on St. 118 are there? Most of the buildings in that area are no more than four stories tall. Was it a homicide?

i kind of recognise that guy, we was talking about how awesome our beards were, heres to ya beardy!
From what I can understand.. The headline says it was suicide. (som-lup kloo-un). But I might be wrong. My Khmer reading isn't very good.
Not easy to see from the picture where on st.118 it is either.
As usual it's not in the English speaking news blogs/papers. (Yet..)

From his blog:
Looks like he lived in Street 118. Sadly enough it seems it could have been a suicide. R.I.P. Mr.Harju. (His brother confirms his passing away on the blog.)

From his blog:
http://uneditednow.squarespace.com/I have been apartment hunting and getting settled in. I am happily ensconced on Street 118 two blocks from the Mekong River in a fifth floor apartment in Phnom Penh. I can see the great river from the hammock strung on my veranda.

There goes KiR's "losing the plot" theory. This guy had a day job that presumably required him to be up in the morning. Yet still a sad ending.

Yeah. This happened mid yesterday and we didn't put it on here because we heard conflicting stories of the guy's demise and we didn't want to rush into the story and get it wrong.There goes KiR's "losing the plot" theory. This guy had a day job that presumably required him to be up in the morning. Yet still a sad ending.
The one inescapable fact is that he went out of a window of a small three story building in the old town and hit the deck dead.
Apparently his body sat there for 5 hours before it was taken away.
If anybody is interested, the side angle is that some folks (maybe CSI fans) believe that he was dead before he went out of the window.

Reading his blog it does seem like he was a tormented soul- I guess its the countries tragic history that attracts such types.
He also wrote some stuff critical of the goverment so that should stoke the conspiracy flames..
The surname suggest he wasn't Jewish so perhaps you won't be fingered for this one KIR
