:::::Investigators have uncovered and examined the remains of 1.1 million Cambodians found in mass graves near Khmer Rouge execution centers whose cause of death has been determined by the investigators to have been execution by the former Khmer Rouge regime.<ref>http://www.mekong.net/cambodia/deaths.htm</ref><ref>http://www.mekong.net/cambodia/toll.htm</ref><ref>http://welcome.to/dccam</ref>  Because no ''more'' than roughly ''half'' and as little as a ''third'' of those killed by the Khmer Rouge were executed (the rest having died from other causes like state-created famine, the deliberate withholding of basic necessities by the state, the refusal by the state to allow foreign aid, the abolishing of medicine and hospitals by the state, systematic overwork and slave labor by the state, and brutal mistreatment by the state), the Documentation Center of Cambodia estimates that the former regime killed or otherwise caused the unnecessary deaths of, between 2.2 and 3.3 million Cambodians.<ref>http://www.mekong.net/cambodia/deaths.htm</ref>  Others estimate 1.5 million may have been executed, which would indicate that 3 million were killed even if executions accounted for half the death toll.  Range:  1.1 to 1.5m executed; 1-2m worked or starved to death by the state.  From this, I conclude 1.25m were executed and 1.5m worked or starved to death by the state, for a total of 2.75m killed in three years.
