Obituary
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — A relative says one of the last three survivors of Cambodia's most notorious Khmer Rouge-era prison has died at the age of 66.
Vann Nath lapsed into a coma in late August after developing breathing difficulties, and his daughter Vann Chan Simen says he passed away on Monday.
Nath was jailed in the Khmer Rouge's notorious Tuol Sleng prison, known as S-21, in 1978 and kept there until the regime collapsed about one year later.
Up to 16,000 people were tortured before being executed at S-21, but Nath was spared because he was asked to paint and sculpt portraits of the late Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot while behind bars.
The regime's radical policies left about 1.7 million people dead through overwork, disease, malnutrition and execution.

Mr. Nath was obviously not only a man of talent but also of strength and honor. His reward from this evil world is now his in heaven. May his wonderful family know God has never been far away and is even closer now. My prayers are with his family and friends. Kim (va)

My condolences to the Nath family. It's ashame people have to go through such horrible things. God sees all types of injustice & will correct matters. I hope that the Nath family finds comfort from the comforting words of the Bible (Acts 17:27).

I cant imagine what it is like to survive through something like that! It is truly inspiring. As already has been stated in the guestbook- God sees all and your loved one Mr Vann Nath's experience can encourage many of us as when we go through trials. God is not partial and loves people of all backgrounds (Acts 10:34). I hope Mr Nath's life freedom-forward, was filled with many heartwarming and happy experiences.
