La víctima había recibido una paliza y la habían dejado morir.

Sentence Discussions Spanish
#1
English Original Sentence

The victim had been beaten up and left for dead.

Is “dejar morir” the best translation of “leave for dead”?

#2

FWIW, SpanishDict suggests “dejar agonizando”, which sounds better to me.

#3

I think that “la habían dejado por muerta” would work.
