:::::::TOTAL:  4.8 million killed.

NOTE: Cambodia's population was 7.3 or 7.4m when mass killings began.  It was about 6.7 or 6.8m when Pol Pot came to power.  It was 4m by the time of the 1978 invasion from Vietnam.  This means that Cambodia lost close to 3,400,000 people from 70-78, or 46% of the population.  Pol Pot wiped out about 41% of his subjects.  If Del Vecchio's work on Cambodia is correct, the Vietnamese invasion and puppet regime killed over 600,000 of its total 1m in its first 12 months in power, primarily by intentionally prolonging the famine conditions of the Khmer Rouge era for months before allowing international aid to alleviate it (presumably to brutalize the population into acquiesence).  This would mean Cambodia lost 4m out of 7.4m from 1970-80, or 55% of the population in 10 years.  I am not sure if demographically this could be wholly accurate, unless the population was higher than 7.4 million when the killings began.  The population would had to have been about 3.5m in 1980 for this breakdown to be correct, unless the population was 8m in 1968 (in which case an even 50% of the population was slaughtered in a decade of inconceivable horror and tragedy).  Nonetheless, the overall estimate of deaths under Samrin is, if anything, rather conservative, when one considers the massive population growth following the overthrow of the Khmer Rouge, as Cambodians sought to make up their lost numbers.<ref>http://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/SOD.CHAP4.HTM</ref>  According to the UN and Red Cross, 2.25 million ''more'' Cambodians would have starved to death due to “the near destruction of Cambodian society under the regime of ousted Prime Minister Pol Pot,”<ref>New York Times, August 8, 1979.</ref><ref>http://www.time.com/time/magazine/printout/0,8816,912511,00.html</ref> if the Khmer Rouge had had even a couple more years in power.  They were saved by American and international aid allowed by the Vietnamese.

::::4.8m is, if anything, conservative.  Demographic studies show that Cambodia is "missing" approximately 5 million individuals (it should have been 12 million in 1990, but it was only about 7 million).<ref>http://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/DBG.FIG9.2.GIF</ref>  From 80-90, Cambodia's population doubled.
