It is said that the man took a deep breath before vomiting and falling to the ground
China Press reported that the man has been identified as 23-year-old Mohd Amirul Ikromi.
According to Fuad, someone at the court attempted to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) but they were not able to save the man's life.
"The ambulance didn't even make it in time," he added.
Amirul's friends who were there during the incident said that they had been playing badminton for about two hours before taking a quick break to have dinner.

The body was taken to the Jitra Hospital Forensic Unit for a post-mortem
