  "account": "A wealthy woman died after her boat capsized near Gua Bewah in Lake Kenyir, Hulu Terengganu, yesterday evening. The victim, Wan Esah Wan Daud, 63, from Felda Chiku, Kelantan, had come to Lake Kenyir to vacation with 27 family members. According to the Deputy Police Chief of Hulu Terengganu, Sharudin Abdul Wahab, the incident occurred at around 4 in the evening when the victim and three family members disembarked from the boat at Gua Bewah to explore on their own before capsizing. The victim managed to be saved by other family members and taken to the hospital, but resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful. The victim had a history of respiratory issues, which led to his death due to drowning, with no signs of criminality involved. Sharudin advised the public to always prioritize safety when engaging in recreational activities, especially in lakes or rivers.",
