Kota Kinabalu: The body of a 15-year-old who fell off the Yayasan Sabah bridge on Friday was found by a fisherman at 7.35am, Saturday, near the Menara Kinabalu helipad.

His father, Ajintat Akin, 60, when contacted by Daily Express, denied his son committed suicide.

He said he had just dropped off his son - the youngest among five siblings - at 5.30am that day.

“My boy decided to buy food outside the school grounds. His friends on the way to school saw him carrying his tapau (takeaway).

“He had no problems in school as far as I know and definitely not at home. He was a jovial boy and I had just recently bought him a new handphone which he was ecstatic about,” he said, adding

The body was handed over to police.
