Just wondering if anyone worked with this bloke and/or had any background info about this case:

"Joseph Lang has died in Vietnam at the age of 33. The writer and producer was found dead on Monday outside a medical centre in Ho Chi Minh City."

"He subsequently fitted in other work around his film-making and had been in Vietnam for four months teaching English."

This story was going around at work but no one seemed to know of him when I've mentioned it in conversation with some other expats....

Any word on what the actual story is?

The only thing I can add to the story that I know for a fact is that there were no signs of violence.

Interesting. There was a rumor that he'd died of an overdose but as one of my co-workers said sarcastically "everyone who dies here died of an overdose".
