Superintendent Ahmad Afiq Mohd Adnan of the Port Dickson district police reported that the 21-year-old male was found by police at 6:05am following an emergency call received through the MERS 999 line.\n\nPreliminary investigations revealed that the victim sustained facial injuries and a broken arm, which are believed to have occurred as a result of falling from a building. The autopsy confirmed that the cause of death was head and abdominal injuries due to a fall from a considerable height. No criminal elements were found during the investigation, according to Superintendent Afiq in a statement.\n\nThe victim was thought to have been residing in a rented room at a three-story hostel near the location where the body was found. An inspection of the room did not reveal any signs of a forced entry, and neither any valuables nor personal documents were missing. The body was sent to Port Dickson Hospital, and the case has been designated as sudden death. Police urged the public with relevant information to cooperate with the investigation and refrain from making assumptions out of respect for the victim's family.",
