Re: British Man Died on the Chair While He Was Drinking Coffee
There are worse ways to go. Though the coffee doesn't look very appetizing. RIP fella; let's hope that your next go round brings you a nicer coffee shop to expire in.

Re: British Man Died on the Chair While He Was Drinking Coffee
I can't decide whether it's better to go like that in a cafe with a half finished iced coffee, or alone in your apartment where you might not be found for days.. or longer.General Mackevili wrote:What a strange way to go, for sure.

Yeah, it's that liquid Tiger Balm crap.bolueeleh wrote:looks like those medicated oil bottle
I have no doubt they rubbed that all over him for an hour to try and wake him up before they called an ambulance.

Report that he was a regular customer and had told the duty manager that he was feeling unwell and asked for some water to drink. (He also ordered a "pizza" or possibly according to other sites a "hamburger") The manager in charge that day also ordered an ambulance, but it didn't arrive in time.
Interestingly ខ្យល់គរ is given as the cause of death.
ខ្យល់គរ = "fainting; to faint; to have a stroke; to have a fainting spell." - dictionary definition but not really sufficient.
ខ្យល់ itself is defined as "n. wind, breeze, air; breath; gas (According to traditional Cambodian medicine, bad `air' in the body is the cause of many illnesses such as fainting, dizziness, stomach aches)"
Other related words from the Headley dictionary;
ខ្យល់ឡើង 1 refers to `bad air,' believed to cause illnesses, which rises in the body causing the upper portion of the body to hurt
ចាប់ខ្យល់ to pinch the skin (esp. between the eyebrows) in order to cure certain illnesses (such as headaches and upset stomachs)
ជប់ខ្យល់ to use cupping glasses to treat certain illnesses
ប្រេងខ្យល់ 1a medicinal oil much used as a liniment (The liquid on the table)
ដាច់ខ្យល់ 1 to die.
And of course:
កោសខ្យល់ Cambodian folk remedy for headaches, stomach aches, etc. where one repeatedly scrapes the skin with a coin (or betel leaf for infants) to raise welts and stimulate the circulation.
The article says 'He died from a heart attack, which Khmer would call ខ្យល់គរ'
It is a heart attack, but it's also not a heart attack. It's an imbalance of 'wind' in the body.

Does that mean that all heart attacks reported are really reports of bad wind? I thought the direct translation was heart stopped?

Re: British Expat Paul Anthony Warner Drops Dead in Phnom Penh Coffee Shop
I think it's fair to say that when I have "bad wind", it's quite possible that it would give someone else a heart attack. Silent but violent...
