The Phnom Penh-based British national who founded the popular online expat forum Khmer 440 died yesterday morning.
Peter Hogan, 49, died of apparent “blood in the brain”, his wife told the Post yesterday.
Som Souphorn, 28, said she found her husband had “fallen off the bed” after coming home from work on Monday evening.
Hogan was taken to Calmette Hospital, where he died at about 9am, said Souphorn, an assistant accountant.
Hogan, who arrived in Cambodia more than a decade ago, sold Khmer440 in August and was planning on settling down, friends and family said.
“He was an early customer when I took over Jungle Bar in 2005. We became friends around our mutual love for quirky old pop music,” said Garage bar owner Jeff Mudrick [His name sounds familiar. Read about him here]. “He was setting up a whole new life, just married, a new house they were poised to move into, a new car for the missus. Tragic.”
Hogan, who also taught business classes, was an at-times controversial figure who often posted “brutal” comments on Khmer440 under his username Keeping_it_riel, said Daniel Mackevili, who runs a rival internet forum. “But he was devoted to Cambodia, and to getting to the bottom of a story.”

This white evil website is a pro Yuon. Their posters are racists again the poor Khmer that they suck the blood on daily. Only a few good posters are worth reading like Red Dragon, SCC..
He's probably murdered by some Khmer extremist, nationalist.
Viet/YUON no longer found 'Keeping_it_riel' [Peter Hogan] real/ credible and he is dispensable of course.

How come there is not Whitey website which is pro-Khmer? lol...every Whitey website which I visited has been anti-Khmer actually. Well, I think these sites are not really anti-Khmer. They are trying to help the Khmer by exposing the Khmer problems.
But as we all know, the Khmer race is quiet stupid and troublesome. They would bite the hands that feed them.

Ah Khmerization's father must fuck ah Gunzet's mother!!!
I just read the story about Peter Hogan dying and I have read all the comments on Khmer440 site which are saying he was great person. this guy. He was an asshole. He was disrespectful to Khmer people, he was rude and asshole to other bearings. I am sure there are lots of people who are happy about him dying. Sorry to his wife. She probably didn't know what asshole he was. This is karma from buddha - be nice bad to people and bad things happen to you.

Someone should let the folks on Khmer440 website know about the Khmer's disrespectful comment against Peter Hogan.
Khmer race is so sick.

Drgunzet - why you say our Khmer race is sick. We are angry at so many barangs always saying bad things about our country but why you live in my country. is it because you asshole in your own country and can't live there. Why don't you put your real name on this comment so we can send it tio the Ministry and ask them to not let you live in Cambodia.
Khmer 440 has many people in there who do nothing for my country but complain so much. go back your own country asshole.

I personally talked to one poster from Khmer440, Orange Dragon when I was in PP. He's a very nice guy. He said some posters on Khmer440 are just in denial because of the benefit that the government has offered for them to make a good living. Like that guy jm that people had tried to track down.
Well if they want to live in our cambodia and make money and be happy then they should stop writing bad things about Cambodia. Khmer440 has been very bad before and write very bad things about Cambodia. the king and other good people. Hopefully now they have new owner, that owner will make sure that they do not write bad things about cambodia.
if i live in australia or isa or england and i said bad things then barangs would tell me to go back to cambodia if i don't like it. why is it not the same in cambodia.

Look, those superior Whites were invited to come to Cambodia to help. They got frustrated at the stupid local Khmer ok? So, they wrote comments to vent out their frustration.
I used to tutor the stupid Khmer students in school. And they told me so, "We are sorry for being stupid and slow. We are wasting your time." That's what I like to hear. They worshiped me as their little God and spread rumor to the whole dorm how superior I was.
I exerted a stupendous effort to get things through the bone head Khmer. Actually, it gave me new skills.
Now, the Khmers in Australia or USA were not invited. You folks were taken in due to mercy. So, you will behave or you will be sent back to Cambodia.
When I was a teen, twice I represented my school in International Computer Competition. USA was proud of me. The US government contacted me in my late teen, asked me to meet their think tank. I declined and avoided meeting them based on my teachers' advice, "You are alone in USA with no power base. You are too smart for your own good. Do not get involved with any government work especially the cloak and dagger game."
If there is a huge cyber war between USA and China, guys like me will rise up and defend USA, not the useless Khmer.

Drgunzet - you are a fuckwit. What utter rubbish and tripe coming from your mouth. How I would love to find out who you are and slap you, although judging by the shit comimg from your mouth, I dare say you are a low life school teacher or perhaps a child sex offender, so slapping you may be a bit harsh and make you cry. -
To all the Khmers on this site, i apologise for drgunzet's comments - he is an embarrassment to westerners.
Apart from the few pitiful forum goers, expats in Cambodia are glad - delighted - that Peter is finally dead. Whether or not the K440 website is 'pro-Yuon' is not the point at all. Peter Hogan was a poisonous cockroach, infamous for his ignorant predjudice and selfish cowardice. Good riddance and I hope he is buried rather than cremated so the hordes of us who despised him can relish in taking a pi$$ on his grave.
Anonymous above - you are so correct. he was the pinnacle of a coward. Very tough when he was abusing people from behind his keyboard. I just looked at the Khmer440 site and saw the numerous posts about what a great guy he was. I nearly vomited. It doesn't say much for those loser Khmer440 posters if they think Hogan is the example if a good mate. Dead 2 days ago and forgotten 30 minutes later by me and most people I know in Cambodia. One thing is certain, he didn't contribute one thing to Cambodia except abuse and criticise it - Cambodia is certainly better off without him stealing oxygen.
K440 is a blog that shows the true face of many foreigners in Cambodia. The chief Admin, the guy 'Playboy' is openly racist (anti-negro), chanting many times about how he hates blacks, whilst he's also chair of the British Chamber and employed by an international NGO!
There are so many cretins on this site. BTW the new owner is closet homosexual, it's a well known fact around town! He's taken on a sheriff role, somehow thinks his job is to expose expat fraud, bollocks!
