"After the procedure was completed, the victim then excused himself to lie on the hotel bed, and the woman left the hotel immediately after to return to Melaka."
After a while, his partner noticed that he was unresponsive and not breathing, to which he immediately contacted the woman. The police were informed immediately after, and the man was unfortunately pronounced dead by the health officer, who was also present at the scene.
