A 32-year-old man died after becoming trapped in a paper-shredding machine at a paper mill in the Bentong Industrial Area on Tuesday night.
Bentong acting police chief Deputy Superintendent Azmi Mahmod said police received information about the incident at around 11.56pm, involving Muhamad Saifulnizam Miskam, who was reportedly trapped in the machine and found unconscious.
A team of police officers was dispatched to the factory to inspect the scene and conduct further investigations, where the victim was confirmed dead.
His body was subsequently sent to the forensic unit at Bentong Hospital for further action, Azmi said.
He added that the case had been classified as sudden death (SDR), with investigations still ongoing.
Preliminary checks found no indication of criminal activity in the incident.
Azmi urged the public not to speculate about the case and to allow the authorities to conduct their investigations.
