  "account": "GEORGE TOWN, October 25 - A 57-year-old foreign woman met her untimely demise while participating in aquatic therapy at a condominium swimming pool in Tanjung Bungah, here yesterday, according to Timur Laut district police chief ACP Abdul Rozak Muhammad. The police became aware of the incident at 6:10pm when they received a report from a concerned citizen. It was discovered that the victim and her husband were undergoing aquatic therapy at 5:20pm until the man stepped away from her to answer a call from a friend. After a five-minute absence, the husband returned to find his wife submerged in the water, seemingly having fallen off a float. He immediately jumped into the pool, rescued her, and administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Despite his efforts, medical personnel who arrived on the scene pronounced the woman deceased at 5:49pm. The victim's body was subsequently sent to the Forensic Department of Penang Hospital for a post-mortem examination to ascertain the cause of death. Preliminary police investigation revealed no criminal elements involved in the incident, and the case was categorized as a Sudden Death Report (SDR).",
