00:00The Shah Alam Coroner Court has held that a Kajang prison inmate serving his sentence

00:06for murder died of natural causes three years ago.

00:11Coroner Rashiha Ghazali held that K. Rupen died of pulmonary embolism, which originated

00:16from a blood clot in his left leg.

00:19However, she said the court was unable to identify the cause of the blood clot.

00:25Rashiha ruled out any suggestion that Rupen's death was caused by the negligence of prison

00:30officers or doctors.

00:32A day before his death, on June 21, 2021, Rupen was discharged from Kajang Hospital

00:38where he had been administered a D-dimer test to check if he had a blood clotting disorder.

00:44The court previously heard that Rupen's D-dimer reading was 17.97, far higher than a normal

00:50reading of 0.5.

00:53T. Shashi Devan, the family lawyer, said Rupen's reading alone should have prompted

00:58a CT scan.
