Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum - Non-Cambodian prisoners

One of the last foreign prisoners to die was twenty-nine-year-old American Michael S. Deeds, who was captured with his friend Christopher E. DeLance on November 24, 1978, while sailing from Singapore to Hawaii. His confession was signed a week before the Vietnamese army invaded Cambodia and ousted the Khmer Rouge. In 1989, Deeds' brother, Karl Deeds, traveled to Cambodia in attempts to find his brother's remains, but was unsuccessful. On September 3, 2012, DeLance's photograph was identified among the caches of inmate portraits.

Typhoid: Bacterial disease causing fever, diarrhea, headache, enlargement of the spleen, and extreme physical exhaustion and collapse.

Cotton-Clad: Gunboats using stacked cotton bales to protect themselves from enemy fire.

Drill: To practice marching, military formations and the steps in firing and handling one's weapon.

Barrel: The long metal tube on a gun through which a projectile is fired.
