When the 58-year-old patient was in the tent, he was given CPR for about 30 minutes before he was pronounced dead by a medical officer. Lahad Datu District Police Chief, Assistant Commissioner Rohan Shah Ahmad told Astro Awani that the medical officer explained the funeral management procedure during the Covid-19 crisis to the heirs and the need for a Covid-19 screening test on the deceased to prevent any infection.

However, the patient’s children refused to leave their father who had a history of brain disease and stroke. Instead, they chose to bring their father’s body back home.
