What started as an emergency call to firefighters regarding a locked house in Kelantan unfolded into a tragedy after they stumbled upon the sight of a man who had hung himself.
The grisly incident was confirmed by the Kelantan Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM), where they shared more details on its Facebook page.
Body of 28yo M’sian man found hanging at living room
According to the post, firefighters had received a call from the MERS system regarding a locked house located at Kampung Kelubi, Pasir Puteh.
Operations Commander Fatimah Zahra Binti Ghazali added that upon arriving at the scene, firefighters discovered that the door was indeed locked and used a crowbar to pry the door open.
However, none of them were prepared for what awaited them when they successfully unlocked the door — the body of a 28-year-old man found hanging at the living room.
The cause for the victim’s death remains unknown for the time being and the body has since been handed over to police for further action.
