倒卧邱德拔医院内楼梯口 人力部:46岁印度籍客工身亡

警方今午(23日)发布文告,今早7时29分接到投报,一名46岁印度籍男子,倒卧在邱德拔医院内的楼梯口。 据了解,该名男子是该医院内的病患,警方正调查这起非自然死亡事件。较后卫生部也证实了该名男子是冠状病毒19确诊病患。 人力部长杨莉明也在脸书分享贴文,向上述身亡印度籍客工致哀。她也在脸书透露,有关客工自2009年就在本地工作,是建筑工友,目前已联系家属提供协助。 她今早也偕同内政部长尚穆根前往探访和慰问死者的同室室友。 根据人力部文告,有关客工住在工厂改造宿舍,刚在本月12日被检查。而死者与九名客工住在一起。宿舍生活环境包括卫生和通风等也在可接受的状况。 警称根据初步调查,此事件相信不涉及犯罪行为,案情仍在侦办中。
