  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 24 — A missing man was found dead inside his locked car outside a supermarket in Kajang, Malaysia, after a five-day search that went viral on social media. Police chief ACP Naazron Abdul Yusof confirmed the incident occurred around 11.29pm when passers-by noticed a lifeless body in the front seat of the stationary vehicle. Initial findings revealed a man believed to be in his 50s, found unconscious in the driver's seat of a Perodua Axia, with the engine turned off and the car locked from the inside. Fire and Rescue Department personnel had to break the locked doors to access the victim, who was subsequently examined by medical professionals from Hospital Kajang and pronounced dead on the spot. The victim's family had reported him missing on Tuesday following no response to multiple calls to his mobile phone. The vehicle was located about 15 minutes from his home. Preliminary investigations have not uncovered any evidence of foul play, and the case has been classified as a sudden death report (SDR). Ongoing investigations are underway to ascertain the cause of the incident and the man's death.",
