A medical personnel inspects the body of the deceased upon arrival at Sarawak General Hospital.
KUCHING: A foreign construction worker was pronounced dead upon arrival at a hospital here after he was found hanging in his shared quarters yesterday morning.
The deceased, a 22-year-old Indonesian by the name of Ahmad Khosim, was found around 9.30am by a fellow worker who had returned to their quarters at a construction site along Jalan Lapangan Terbang.
The latter immediately reported the matter to a supervisor, who then rushed Ahmad to a private medical centre after detecting a faint pulse.
The foreign worker, however, was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the hospital and was subsequently sent to the Sarawak General Hospital mortuary for a post mortem.
