PETALING JAYA : The death of a construction worker at the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project site in Pasir Puteh, Kelantan, on Wednesday was due to a heart attack and not because he fell from a train carriage, say police.
Pasir Puteh police chief Zaizul Rizal Zakaria said the Chinese national died while he was pulling cables near the train track, Sinar Harian reported.
'The victim died due to a heart attack, not due to a fall from the train as alleged on social media,' he was quoted as saying.
Zaizul said a post-mortem carried out on the victim found no elements of foul play.
A video shared widely on social media had alleged that a ECRL worker died after falling from a train.
