MIRI: A man was found dead inside his car at the parking lot of the Miri hospital quarters here.

The deceased, an ambulance driver, was found by one of his children at 10.25pm on Tuesday.

Miri OCPD ACP Lim Meng Seah said a mobile police unit responded to a distress call.

Policemen found the man, 41, unconscious, said ACP Lim, adding: “They managed to break the door open.”

The man is believed to have died from carbon monoxide inhalation as a hose was found attached to the car’s exhaust pipe and into the vehicle.

Initial investigation also revealed that he sent a video to his wife telling her about his intention to commit suicide prior to the tragedy.

ACP Lim said the case had been classified as sudden death.
