SHAH ALAM - Police have said the death of a detainee in the Seberang Perai Selatan district police headquarters lock-up in Penang three days ago was "death by hanging".

"However, we will continue with the probe," he said in a statement tonight.

The 59-year-old man was detained under Section 12 (3) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 and Section 15 (1) (A) same law.

Police had said the suspect was arrested on March 23 and was to be taken to court for remand order the next day.
