A 78-year-old resident of an elderly care home was found dead outside a premises along Jalan Meriam in Muar on Friday.
Muar district police chief Assistant Commissioner Raiz Mukhliz Azman Aziz said the man was discovered unresponsive on a pedestrian walkway within the parking area in front of the premises.
He said police received a report regarding the discovery at around 8.30am.
According to him, the man had been staying at an elderly care facility since 2004 and was known to regularly walk to the Bentayan area to have breakfast.
