In this Nov. 22, 2016 photo, the coffin carrying the body of Balkisun Mandal Khatwe, a migrant laborer who died in his sleep in Qatar, lies outside Tribhuwan International airport in Kathmandu, Nepal. The number of Nepali workers going abroad has more than doubled since the country began promoting foreign labor in recent years: from about 220,000 in 2008 to about 500,000 in 2015. Yet the number of deaths among those workers has risen much faster in the same period. But now medical researchers say these deaths fit a familiar pattern: Every decade or so, dozens, or even hundreds, of seemingly healthy Asian men working abroad in poor conditions start dying in their sleep. The suspected killer even has a name: Sudden Unexplained Nocturnal Death Syndrome. (AP Photo/Niranjan Shrestha)
