Legally, what happens to children in Cambodia if both parents die?

Hi Cambodian Expats,
A bit somber of a question here.
I'm looking to find out exactly how the law works in Cambodia when both parents of a child pass away in the absence of a legal will specifying care arrangements for the child.
As wills and estate planning seem to be financially out of reach for most of society here, is there a legal norm for what happens to children in the situation I described above?
I would assume that the law allows for remaining family members to decide what the future care arrangements are for the child, but would like to hear about any experiences/knowledge that others have had.
