A 42-year-old Melbourne man who wrote on Facebook predicting he might be “leaving … in a body bag” has died of a drug overdose in Cambodia.
Luke Brudenell Dowse, who appears to have struggled with addiction and may have recently undergone drug rehab in Thailand, was found dead in a cheap Phnom Penh hostel.
Local authorities found Dowse’s body in a room of the Billabong Hostel with a syringe and concluded he died from a heart attack “using excessive drugs”.
