We are aware of the dangers of falling asleep in a car, especially without opening the windows, as it can pose a risk to our lives. Unfortunately, this woman appeared to be too tired after taking care of her ill father in the hospital, leading to her tragic death.
The 20-year-old woman's death was classified as sudden. "The police received a call from hospital security guards, reporting that a woman was found unconscious and suspected to have died in the car. With the assistance of the fire department, the car door was opened, and upon examination by medical officers, the woman was confirmed to have passed away," said the District Police Chief of Ipoh, Assistant Commissioner Yahaya Hassan.
Meanwhile, Yahaya advised the public against the habit of sleeping in cars. This is because if the car engine is turned off, the air conditioning system will not function, and a lack of oxygen can lead to sudden death. On Tuesday, the operations centre of the Perak Fire and Rescue Department, Bakri Manaf, said that an emergency call was made at 6.07 pm. They said that a woman in her twenties was found lifeless in a lying position inside a car in the hospital parking lot.
