A team of six firefighters arrived at 9.58pm and found that he still had a pulse and heartbeat.

While waiting for the ambulance, they performed CPR and provided oxygen, leading to the man regaining a pulse after two to three minutes. An oxygen mask was then placed on him before he was rushed to the hospital.

However, on the way to Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun, he lost his pulse again and paramedics had to perform CPR once more.

Upon arrival at the hospital, emergency doctors took over, but despite their best efforts, he was pronounced dead.

Ipoh Police Chief Assistant Commissioner Abang Zainal confirmed the incident and said the case has been classified as sudden death (SDR).
