KUCHING: A middle-age man from Sungai Moyan in Batu Kawah died from a suspected heart attack after collapsing at a supermarket at Mile 4 yesterday afternoon.

The deceased, 52-year-old Lo Mui Sheng, was alone shopping in the premises when he fell unconscious on the floor around 12.30pm and began foaming at the mouth shortly after.

An ambulance rushed the victim to the Sarawak General Hospital where he passed away shortly upon arrival.

Police have classified the incident as sudden death pending the outcome of a post mortem.

Separately, a man from Kampung Boyan was hospitalised on Thursday night after a seizure attack caused him to fall into a river.

The 30-something victim was said to be standing on a jetty when the incident happened around 8pm. Fellow villagers who happened to be close by immediately jumped into the river and pulled him out, before family members rushed him to the Sarawak General Hospital where he was placed in the Red Zone.
