What really happened to my Dad?. My father, Sonny Suberu, 60 who is a British citizen, resided in London. He often loved to travel, he had been to almost every country around the world & back twice. My dad was so full of life, he had ambitious goals , he was charming, upbeat, and constantly made people smile. He was a talented Author, who had just published his second book “Da pimp”, he was very charismatic, optimistic and always put a smile on everyone’s faces, he was so loved and cared for by many.
He was constantly exploring and doing what he was best at. He loved to make new friends, create new experiences, and go on new adventures. He was a very healthy man who had no signs of any stress, mental health issues, no financial burdens or any physical burdens, he was a free wheeling man. Him travelling was not something out of the ordinary or unexpected.
After spending 4 months in the uk with family and friends in November my dad set off on his travels again he was beginning to tour South East Asia starting with Thailand, he then went off to the Philippines, and from the Philippines to Cambodia. Whilst he was in Cambodia most of the time he would often video and voice call me many times, he would even send me pictures of day to day activities of what he was getting up to. Leading up to his unexpected sudden death, he had been celebrating his friends wedding and from what we knew he was writing drafts for his third book inspired by my daughter (his grandchild) he would often go out to cafes during the day and later in the evening explore the city and night life.
He was staying in PHNOM PENH M residence located on street 282. We had last spoken on the 16/03/2024 he was in high spirits telling me how he had a fun time at his friends wedding and how he had been busy working on publishing his book and how he was excited to come back to the uk to visit me and family in April. On 26/03/2024 in the early hours of the morning I had received a devastating phone call from my grandma saying that she had received a visit from the uk police stating that my dad had unfortunately died, there has been a report stating that he had apparently fell/jumped from the 22nd floor of PHNOM PENH-residence located on street 282. In the report it has been said that it happened at 23:30 on 25/03/2024 (Cambodian timing) it states that he fell through the roof of a Neighbouring home (street 288) at the back of the building.
It states he was taken to Khmer Soviet friendship hospital and pronounced dead at 02:40 on 26/03/2024. The additional information that has been provided it states Mr SUBERU rented room #2219 since the 22/03/2024, his finger prints were apparently found on the balcony railing, urine test shows no presence of (drug) substance and apparently 0 suspects involved in the incident. The presumed cause of death ; Severe head and body injuries (Death by suicide from jumping from 22nd floor of a building) being told this as his daughter I strongly, strongly disagree with what has been written on the report, as my dad is not one to do that.
My dad had an irrational fear of heights so much so he was afraid of carnival rides he would not do such a thing. It is not in his nature to do anything to harm himself knowing that he is so far away from home and not leaving any note also not suffering with any mental health issues prior to this incident. There has been no formal communication in regards to what actually happened and we are waiting for a translation of the report as it is in Cambodian, we have not received any photographs of his body or his supposed injuries. In a rough translation of the report it is not clear as to if he jumped / fell.
Due to the suspicious nature of this whole story I took it upon myself to do some research I have found many articles in relation to PHNOM PENH M residence located on street 282 and surrounding areas where uk citizens have visited and some how committed suicide supposedly. There is clearly something that is going on with the M RESIDENCE and the surrounding accommodations, there is no care for the welfare of their clients. A similar incident took place on the 28/02/2024 in the exact same hotel.

since this I have also been in contact with some of the people he had met whilst on his travels who could not believe that he would do such a thing, some of these people had only met a day or so prior to this alleged incident. I would like to appeal for further investigation into this matter as I strongly believe that there is more to this than just an apparent suicide, i do not believe he would have committed suicide and not have left a written note or not have given an indication to anyone as to what he has allegedly done.
As I have stated above he did not suffer from mental health. If anyone with any information in regards to M RESIDENCE or was witness this incident and can provide me with further information so I can get justice for my fathers death. If anyone does know how I can take this matter further please don’t hesitate to contact me.

It's a strange case and one that was reported as your links show but somehow didn't get much attention. We do sometimes hear about these cases, but it's very rare for a westerner to be involved, it's usually Chinese.

Am very sorry for your loss. All I can suggest is that you hire a private investigator to help you find out the truth. Also to find whatever cctv you can.
That's a terrible thing.
I know that building a bit since my son stayed there for a month up till Feb. I found it quite well run and the staff very friendly. There's a high turn over of guests as quite a few Air BnB type set ups and very international.
You might want to come over yourself if you can to talk to the staff and any friends and acquaintances your father had. As someone mentioned perhaps hook up with an investigator first.
All the best to you.

P.S.
I had a look at his website....he seemed interested in investigating financial/crypto scams?
That's a multi-billion dollar illegal industry and I'd guess perilous to poke about in. Purely speculation of course.

A woman is desperately searching for answers following her father's death in Cambodia in what she believes are suspicious circumstances.
Travel enthusiast and author Sonny Suberu, 60, from London, has been described as an optimist who lived life to the fullest.
He had been travelling across Southeast Asia but reportedly died following a fall at his hotel in Cambodia's capital, Phnom Penh, which local authorities claim was a suicide.
A Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) spokesperson said the team were supporting the family and were in contact with local authorities.
His daughter Shannon Boateng, from Walsall, has been left heartbroken and is fighting to find out what happened.
“I believed I would grow up with my dad, he would be there when I got married, he’d be there to watch my daughter grow up, all of this has been taken away from me within the blink of an eye,” she said.
A police report concluded that Mr Suberu, an IT consultant, had taken his own life by jumping from the 22nd floor of the complex he was staying in just before midnight on 26 March. He was confirmed dead in hospital a couple of hours later.
No drugs were found in his system, the Cambodian police have said.
Less than a month before, a similar incident happened at the same hotel.
Local newspaper, The Khmer Times, reported an arrest following the death of another man at the building after a fall from the upper stories in the middle of the night.
Mr Suberu had attended a friend's wedding in Cambodia while travelling
For his daughter, the story does not add up.
Ms Boateng said: “I refuse to believe what they are saying, it’s out of my dad’s nature. There is no evidence being provided.
“He would not want me to sit here and let his death be brushed under the carpet.”
As his only daughter, she shared a close bond with her father and had spoken to him just 10 days before his death, when he had called to share stories about his travel adventures.
Now, Ms Boateng is trying to prevent officials from cremating Mr Suberu’s body before he is brought home.
Mr Suberu has been remembered as a loving father who had the ability to light up any room
“I feel like the UK’s government has let us down big time, my dad was a British citizen and lived in London his whole life,” she said.
“It makes no sense for them to say they can’t do anything. They have told me they can’t bring my dad’s body home.
“I need closure for the sake of my dad, I can’t keep questioning, what happened to my dad? What did someone do? How did he die? It’s killing me.”

Sorry to hear. Could he have fallen? Sometimes the railings aren't so strong and he may have leaned against it (facing the door) and it gave way?
