RIP.
The wind appears to be able to kill with impunity.
Must have either connections or money.

Or is it a bad translation?
It is. Bad air stems from malaria (mal aire = bad air in French). Then add some Khmer folk culture and a sniff of ghostery....
Alright, so the cause of death is reasonably malaria or is that just were the word came from?
I.e. cause of death is still bad air / wind / ghosts?

Malaria stems from 'mal aire' and I think the 'mal aire' has been (mis)translated into English.
Generally 'bad air' in Cambodia is used when the cause of death is unknown.

Where's a competent autopsist when you need one? Yes, we know he died when he stopped breathing but...

It's got nothing to do with malaria:

Wind Illness (khyol, kerd khyol, khyol chab,krun khyol)

Khyol literally means wind. The informants interchangeably used kerd khyol (having the wind), khyol chab (catching the wind), krun khyol (wind illness) to describe wind illness. A focus group suggested that at one time the term “having wind illness” might have been synonymous with the terms “illness, sickness, or fever.” The informants defined wind illness as: 1) not a physical wind, or air but rather a state of illness when the body was out of balance from overwork, lack of food and sleep, and exposure to diverse weather from hot to cold to rain; 2) an illness state when the body responded to known conditions such as a common cold, diabetes, or hypertension; 3) an illness resulting when the four basic human elements (wind, water, earth, and fire) were out of balance. (This was explained by two men in their 70s, however, it was not known among younger informants.)

Wind illness is the English translation of Khyol...... Extract from Ethnographic Study among Seattle Cambodians: Wind Illness
The informants were asked to describe fever and dizziness, their causes, common symptoms associated with fever and dizziness, symptom management, and their worries and fears. The informants associated both fever and dizziness to a syndrome called “wind illness,” or known in Cambodian as khyol (pronounced khyol). It was decided that in order to understand fever and dizziness” in the Cambodian cultural context, the study needed to explore the association between fever, dizziness, and wind illness.

Clinical Features

The following are characteristics of wind illness found in this study: mild to moderate (normal khyol); moderate to severe (blocked khyol); severe (ripe khyol); and life threatening (mute khyol).

Another study:Kyol Goeu (‘Wind Overload’) Part II: Prevalence, Characteristics, and Mechanisms of Kyol Goeu and Near-Kyol Goeu Episodes of Khmer Patients Attending a Psychiatric Clinic

As detailed in the previous article in this journal (Hinton, 2001a), Khmer consider kyol goeu to be a potentially fatal fainting episode. According to the Khmer conception, prior to an episode, despite some accumulation of wind in the body (e.g., in the limb vessels, belly, chest, neck vessels, and head), the person may feel just some malaise. One day, most often upon standing, the individual will suddenly feel dizzy while concurrently experiencing other panic-like symptoms (e.g., palpitations, shortness of breath, and blurred vision) and then fall to the ground. In the supine position, the sufferer normally retains conscious awareness but can not move or speak. Family members and friends must quickly administer various emergency treatments that aim to directly remove excessive wind from the body (e.g., by ‘coining’), cause the wind to move normally in its course through the vessels (e.g., by massaging the limbs), and rouse to consciousness (e.g., by biting the ankle). Khmer believe that if these interventions are not implemented quickly, the sufferer will either permanently lose the use of a limb, such as an arm, or die.

Alright so it's basically an umbrella diagnosis for everything from insomnia to stroke. Makes more sense now.

So, perhaps actually "Out of wind" - i.e. exhaustion?
