A shocking incident

It is with great sadness that I write this post . Yesterday , I got a message on my mobile phone from the next door neighbor of the house in Muar. Her husband had just telephoned the police and ambulance . In her message , she had told me that my sub-contractor Mike was in his car parked in the driveway of the house and that she believes that he is dead in his car.

I had met Mike at the house on last Saturday in Muar house together with my Aunt . He was fine and as usual we chatted on the remaining items that were to be done in the house . He had come alone from KL as he was doing the piping for the washing machine in the kitchen in the house . He was 2 years younger than me and he is fit . I found out later that he had no medical history.

Fortunately , I had installed CCTVs last Saturday so I was able to see through my mobile , the ambulance , police and forensics arriving at the house . I had to call Encik Rahman to go immediately to the house as I was in KL. If not, I would have to drive to Muar myself as the police would want to question me .

Plain clothes police arriving at the house captured by CCTV. Police car outside the gate.

The police called me several times yesterday as they needed to get into the house to see the footage of the CCTV to ascertain no foul play or crime committed . From the footage of the CCTV , there was no foul play so police were able to release the car . His body was sent to the morgue at the General Hospital Muar and a post-mortem will be done today to ascertain probable cause of death today . The police told me that he probably died on the 4 Dec in the early hours of the morning in his car due to a heart attack . This means , his body has been in the car for more than 24 hours !

He died alone in his car on my driveway at the house in Muar ! This is so sad and shocking .

Rest in Peace, Mike .
