MELAKA: The body of a man was found in a drain near a bus stop in the Ayer Keroh industrial area here on Friday (Jan 30).
Melaka Tengah OCPD Asst Comm Christopher Patit said a youth discovered the body of the 64-year-old in a drain filled with 0.2m of water.
“The victim is believed to have fallen into the drain from a height of 1.5m. A 19-year-old found the body when he was discarding rubbish at a bin near the scene.
"Examinations found no elements of foul play. There was only a one-inch wound on the left side of the victim’s forehead, believed to be due to the fall," he said in a statement on Saturday (Jan 31).
The man's body was sent to Melaka Hospital for a post-mortem, and the case has been classified as a sudden death. – Bernama
