GEORGE TOWN: There are no signs of physical injuries found on the bodies of a woman and her toddler daughter, whose decomposed remains were discovered in a condominium unit at Jalan Bukit Gambir on Monday (June 30).

George Town OCPD Asst Comm Abdul Rozak Muhammad said the findings were from the post mortem conducted on the two bodies at Penang Hospital on Tuesday (July 1)

"The external and internal examinations revealed no suspicious injuries on the bodies of the deceased,” he said in a statement on Tuesday (July 1).

ACP Abdul Rozak said the internal examinations also indicated organ decomposition due to advanced decay, but there were no signs of trauma or foul play.

He said based on the post-mortem results, the case remains classified as Sudden Death Report (SDR).

On Monday, decomposed bodies of a woman and her toddler daughter were found at an apartment unit in Jalan Bukit Gambir, after police received information from the public at 4.41pm about a foul smell, suspected to be the scent of a decomposing body, coming from the apartment unit.
