This is a useful meaning, but doesn't square with the place structure
of cliva, which has route and means arguments. I suggest, for your
sense, "cohi (zei) tolzva"

(Note that Lojbab would disapprove of saying "life left his body" in
Lojban, on the grounds that a Thai might not understand it. (See most
recent JL.))
