Malaysian police broke down a bathroom door to find a dead man in a budget hotel in Kuala Lumpur yesterday. He was found in a sitting position on the toilet bowl.
The hotel is in Jalan Sultan in downtown Kuala Lumpur.
Police told Bernama that the 48-year-old man, a tourist from Singapore, arrived in Malaysia on January 16.
At noon yesterday, a cleaner reported a foul smell from one of the bathrooms. Hotel staff called the police.
Officers called to the scene pried open the bathroom door, which was locked from inside.
They found a dead man in a seated posture on the toilet bowl, along with remnants of burnt charcoal.
As the windows and door were sealed, the man was suspected to have died from suffocation caused by the inhalation of the fumes emitted by the burning charcoal, said KL police.
The Singaporean was estimated to have been dead for 48 hours before he was discovered.
Police have classified the case under sudden death and the body has been sent to the Kuala Lumpur hospital for an autopsy.
