A pile of bones is found in or near water so he must have drowned. Probably because there was no heart remaining so it could not have been a heart attack.

Just to put a bit of geographical context in here.
Kampong Luong is a large floating village on the southern shore of the Lake. (Pursat prov)
It is more like a floating decent sized town actually.
Full sized floating petrol stations, real-deal bank branches, churches, mosques and wats.
One of the two or three biggest floating shopping centres and supply depots on the lake.

A Chinese tourist maybe? A few get out there.
I can find no reference to Po Luit village

(sorry not very good photo's, just the back streets of town)

Silence, exile, and cunning.
