My son was fit, says father of student who died after heat-related illness
TEMERLOH: What was supposed to be another test of endurance for Fadhlan Fakhry Solana Mohd Fellimal turned tragic when he collapsed during the Komander Kesatria Endurance Challenge (KKEC) at the Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Jengka campus here on Sept 4.
Fadhlan Fakhry Solana Mohd Fellimal, a 21-year-old UITM Seremban campus student, died from a heat-related illness during the Komander Kesatria Endurance Challenge (KKEC) on September 4. His father, Mohamad Fellimal Mohd Sulanah, recounted that his son had participated in the event's previous editions and was in good health. On the day of the challenge, Fadhlan appeared weak near the finishing line and was rushed to the medical facility at UiTM Jengka.
His father last heard from him at 6.55pm on September 4, promising to call after completing the event. Later that evening, the father received a call from a UiTM officer informing him of his son's transfer to the intensive care unit at Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Hospital in Temerloh. Fadhlan's body was later taken to the Denai Alam Mosque for funeral prayers and buried at the Elmina Muslim Cemetery.
