Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan said the incident was the result of the victim’s own actions, and the case remains classified as sudden death (SDR).

“Investigations found no indication of foul play or negligence.

“We have evidence indicating that the victim fell due to his own actions,” he told reporters here today.
