SEPANG: A drunken argument led to the death of a 30-year-old foreign worker found injured in a factory on Friday (July 12), says Sepang OCPD Asst Comm Wan Kamarul Azran Wan Yusof.

"A medical officer from the Cyberjaya Hospital informed the police that the 30 year old man was sent to the hospital unconscious. Checks showed that he was bleeding from the head and hands," he said, adding that the victim died at the hospital.
