Haing's Death
All the suffering Haing endured came to avail. He survived the killing fields. Unfortunately, nine years after his famous appearance as Dith Pran in The Killing Fields, Haing was shot outside of his home in Los Angeles, CA.
Many believe it was a homocide linked to the Khmer Rouge and others believe he was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. No matter his cause of death, it is still sad to think after suffering all the brutalities under Pol Pot's regime that he died to an unidentified bullet. Haing's work lives on and will be truly missed.
