Lol. I don't have my glasses on. It almost looks like it says he died due to wind, which of course, would be absurd, even for Khmer standards.

Can anyone tell me what it really says?

Wind? Perhaps a very localised tornado, (about 1 metre across that settled on his chest...)

19 year olds extremely rarely die in bed or even die by any other method. I suspect foul play. Wind might have been mistranslated. Could have meant air. A pillow is put on his face, he is smothered to death in bed.

Original from source: ស្លាប់ដោយសារខ្យល់គ
Translate via Chrome browser: died due to the wind.
Translate via Google Translate: died of wind.

Breakdown of the last section of the original using dict.antkh.com
សារខ្យល់គ = (that does not compute)

សារ = item 4. Heart, feeling, spirit, mind soul. http://dict.antkh.com/dictionaries/%e1% ... 9e%9a.aspx

ខ្យល់គ = - syncope, fainting fit http://dict.antkh.com/dictionaries/%e1% ... 9e%82.aspx
- fainting spell (due especially to lack of oxygen).
- blackout, dizzy spell, faint, swoon, syncope
----------------------
Syncope is a temporary loss of consciousness usually related to insufficient blood flow to the brain. It's also called fainting or "passing out." It most often occurs when blood pressure is too low (hypotension) and the heart doesn't pump enough oxygen to the brain.
https://www.heart.org/en/health-topics/ ... e-fainting

Cardiovascular syncope is a brief loss of consciousness (from a few seconds to a few minutes), that is characterized by rapid onset and spontaneous recovery. It is caused by decreased blood flow to the brain.
Risk Factors: Cardiomyopathy
https://www.icm-mhi.org/en/health-care- ... ar-syncope

Cardiomyopathy (kahr-dee-o-my-OP-uh-thee) is a disease of the heart muscle that makes it harder for your heart to pump blood to the rest of your body. Cardiomyopathy can lead to heart failure.

Interesting, UT. That still might indicate murder by smothering. Or you could throw in unintentional suicide by drug overdose. Heck, I used a few drugs when I was 19 and I still do on occasion!
