  "account": "A 21-year-old female student from Universiti Sains Malaysia in Gelugor, Penang, was discovered deceased on the morning of the incident. She is believed to have tragically fallen from the hostel building. Police Chief Abdul Rozak Muhammad disclosed that the young woman was found by a cleaner around 7:25am lying face down on the concrete ground amidst the hostel block. Medical professionals pronounced her dead at the location. The university reported the incident to the police at approximately 8:40am. Initial findings from the scene did not reveal any evidence suggesting foul play, although several external injuries consistent with a fall from considerable height were noted on her body. Her remains were subsequently sent to Penang Hospital for a post-mortem examination, and the case is currently being treated as a sudden death. Mental health support is strongly advised, and those in need are encouraged to reach out to trusted individuals or contact Befrienders at 03-76272929 for assistance.",
