KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 24 — A post-mortem conducted on a 42-year-old man who died following detention by Cheras police revealed no damage to his internal organs but confirmed multiple external bodily injuries, federal investigators said today.
The formal medical cause of death remains undetermined and has been classified as “pending laboratory analysis” while pathologists await toxicology and histology findings from the Chemistry Department, the Royal Malaysia Police’s Integrity and Standards Compliance Department (JIPS) confirmed in a statement this morning.
The findings arrive amid intensifying civil society pressure, following calls by rights watchdog Lawyers for Liberty for the case to be treated as homicide rather than a routine sudden death, citing visible physical trauma observed on the deceased’s body.
