Heartbreaking end: public finds body of Singaporean swept away by waves in Kota Tinggi

Authorities confirm body of 49-year-old victim has been identified by his wife and sent to Kota Tinggi Hospital

1:34 PM MYT

 

KOTA TINGGI – A Singaporean man who went missing after being swept away by waves at The Westin Desaru Coast Beach in Kota Tinggi was found drowned early today.

Penawar Fire and Rescue Station operations commander Masri Ibrahim said members of the public discovered the 49-year-old’s body at the beach at 5.30am.

“The victim, who wore a black pair of shorts, was found by members of the public about 5km from where he was reported to have gone missing.

“The victim’s wife has also identified his body,” he said, adding that the body had been sent to Kota Tinggi Hospital.

Yesterday, Masri was reported to have said that the man and his 16-year-old son were hit by waves while frolicking at the water’s edge before being swept away.

However, the boy was rescued by the public and sent to Kota Tinggi Hospital.

Masri also said that even before the incident, a red flag had been raised there to warn visitors not to engage in activities on the beach due to weather conditions. – December 28, 2023
