IPOH- Police are investigating the death of a Form Three student early on Saturday morning after he was admitted to Seri Manjung Hospital on Friday (June 16).
Manjung District Police chief ACP Mohamed Nordin Abdullah said police received a report at 4.30 pm yesterday (June 20) about the death of the boy.
"Preliminary investigations revealed that the student felt unwell last Friday and had to use a walking stick to move about due to pain in his leg before the school called the victim’s family to take him home,” he said.

The victim was admitted to the emergency room in critical condition and immediately given respiratory assistance before being transferred to the intensive care unit at 10.10 pm for specialist care,” he said in a statement today.
