  "account": "A 16-year-old female student was found dead at a secondary school in Yong Peng, Batu Pahat, Johor, late yesterday afternoon, according to reports from Harian Metro. The student, a Form Four pupil, was reportedly discovered by her mother, who had come to the school after realizing her daughter had not returned home around 5:30 pm following a tutorial session, following the mother's observation. The victim was found lying down and weak at the school courtyard, with evident signs of dehydration on her body.\n\nJohor's Deputy Police Chief, Hoo Chuan Huat, has called for the public and media to give space to the authorities to conduct a thorough investigation into the student's death. He emphasized that the police are still gathering accurate facts and details related to the incident and warned against premature speculation. The police are currently in the process of collecting the necessary information, which makes it too early to confirm any details. Reporters, too, are in a similar situation and cannot provide accurate information until the details are gathered. Any confirmation would be premature as the police are still gathering the facts.",
