Woman found dead inside parked car at hospital in Ipoh – victim feel asleep without opening windows

A woman was found dead inside a car parked at the parking lot of the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital on Tuesday, reports The Star. According to the police, the woman was sleeping in the backseat without opening the car windows and the case has been classified as sudden death while awaiting post-mortem.

Ipoh district police chief ACP Yahaya Hassan revealed the victim was taking care of her father who was warded at the hospital. “She had come to the car to rest at the backseat without winding down the windows,” he said.

“The police had received a call from the hospital’s security guard on Tuesday evening stating that he believed a woman was unconscious, and had probably died inside the car. With the help of firefighters, the car doors were opened, and checks by medical officers confirmed that the woman died,” he added.

Yahaya advised the public not to have the habit of sleeping in their cars. This is because if the car engine was switched off, the air-conditioning system would not function which can lead to a lack of oxygen that can cause sudden death. It’s also not advisable to sleep in a parked car with the engine and air-conditioning running because it can resulted in carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.

    Want to sleep better buy EV car. See, ICE car is more dangerous. Everyone says EV car catch fire but statistics have shown ICE car have more fire incident. So dont be Kodak. Embrace the EV.

      you talk as if rakyat marhaen can afford EVs. the cheapest one is 100k already, far from affordable for low income groups

      Leaving babies unattended in a locked car.
      Pumping petrol with the engine running,then run into the 7 eleven to buy cigarettes while toddlers play with the steering wheel.
      I have lost count the number of times these stupid things happen.
      And yet,there isnt an end to this madness.
      Then,politicians like the Nancy dude will come out and say,ban tints.
      Hello,one day when u watch a movie,the lights will be on .COs someone says nanti gelap..forget toddlers.
      It is not that we dont kesian the victims.But some common sense is needed.Do u need Albert Einstein to teach you rocket science or thermonuclear physics? Just plain common sense.

        Just for your information, the Jew Einstein plagiarised the work of several notable scientists in his 1905 papers on special relativity and E=mc2, yet the physics community has never bothered to set the record straight.

        He literally stole other people research to put is name on it (you should learn who are really Jewish people..)

    This is carbon monoxide poisoning… I’ve seen it at highway r&r, not sure if to wake them but if we do they’ll shout at us to mind our own business. There should be big signboards to educate people about this risk

  • The article is not immediately clear if the car’s engine was switched on or off when the person was inside. I suspect it’s probably with the engine on and from carbon monoxide poisoning. Without AC and windows up, it would probably get too warm to fall asleep.

    “According to the police, the woman was sleeping in the backseat without opening the car windows and the case has been classified as sudden death while awaiting post-mortem.”

  • what different with “sleeping for 8 hours with windows closed, and engine/aircond running” vs “driving for 8 hours with windows closed, and engine/aircond running”?

      Don’t argue. Think (((harmony & coffee money))) More convenient to blame aircon than Covid-19 injections…

      Cheaper also…

      The difference is :

      – She didn’t die from Cohen-19 because vaccins are very safe and work perfectly well.

      Let’s fund research on new vaccins against aircon-24 variant lol
