According to Ipoh Deputy Chief of Police, Superintendent Mazuki Mat, his department received a report from the hospital at 2.35am informing them of the victim's death.
NST Online reported him saying that the initial investigations showed that the victim was brought to the hospital by a friend before he was pronounced dead.
