Condolences to his family and friends.
I'm not a negative person, I encourage people all the time...it's usually to f**k off! But, whatever.
Oh no.
I think that's the teacher that's been working there OVER 10 years.
Maybe I'm wrong, as there's no clear shot of him, but I'm 98% sure.

What strikes me as odd is the time, 11:30 am on a Monday morning.

-Phnom Penh.
-A Canadian man was killed after jumping to his death from the window (I had carelessly interpolated ‘balcony’ in the CEN translation, my apologies) of his guesthouse room.
- Police identified the victim as ‘BROWN MARTIN.’ 34 years of age.
-The body was discovered face down with the skull fractured in a pool of blood at about 11:30 am, 19th August, 2013, in front of the Yong Huot Guesthouse, Building 21, Street 149, Psar Tmey 3 Commune, Daun Penh District, The guesthouse is situated east of Psar Ta Pung Market and close to ELT where it was alleged he had taught.
-Witnesses and staff at the guesthouse stated that the victim had been staying in room 304 while teaching English at the nearby ELT.
-They said that the victim had been a long time resident of the guesthouse and had continued to rent there after guesthouse operations had changed hands (សេងsubleased).
-They stated that for the last 2 months the victim appeared to be at loose ends, though it was unclear whether or not he had been laid off by the school where he had taught.
-They stated that the victim had come and gone in accordance with his normal habits right up to the time of his suicide.
-Investigators are still looking for a motive for the suicide.

The dude in thinking of definitely isn't as young as 34.
Certainly looks a lot older than 34 in the pictures, 49 seems like the more accurate age out of the 2 articles.

Sad circumstances ..RIP.
I can not see how he could have projected himself that far from the building, nor how he missed the black SUV. Just sayin'.

I heard the news from someone who works at ELT. This person told me he jumped from a classroom window and he's actually over 60.
Don't quote me....could be a rumour but potos and details seem fishy.

Confirmed. Definitely in his sixties. I didn't hear that exact story so won't speculate on thatdom_bandit wrote:... he's actually over 60....
Anyone who's worked at ELT would have definitely known him.
I had fun debating grammar points with him. We rarely agreed on jack. Good times.
RIP

I didn't know him, but it's all a bit tragic, too many foreigners snuffing it over here nowadays.

Who commits suicide by jumping from the 3rd floor? That's nuts.
