“The case is classified as sudden death for now. We are still identifying the cause of the incident.”

He added that preliminary investigations revealed that the victim was at home with her 14-year-old sister and 7-year-old brother prior to the tragedy.

She was also believed to have fallen off the window while attending online classes in her bedroom. 

“After Keisha’s parents found that her bedroom door was locked from the inside, they quickly unlocked it with their spare keys and found that the window grilles were wide open.

“They later realised that their daughter had fallen out of the window when they rushed to the ground floor,” he said.

Asmadi said that the victim had suffered a broken elbow and leg and that police are still waiting for the autopsy report.
