However, the rescue team did not come across a son who had passed away, they found the 21-year-old alive and coming out of a “deep sleep”.
“A team of 10 members arrived at the residence and immediately began operations to open the door with special equipment. However, the son – who was allegedly trapped - suddenly opened the door from inside,” said the Skudai Fire and Rescue Station (BBP) chief and Senior Assistant Fire Superintendent Mohd Ridua Akhyar after receiving the distress call at 10.59pm.
“Through further investigations, the man’s parents and three siblings shared that they had gone out to the nearby temple and when they returned, they claimed to have knocked on the door for almost an hour but he did not open the door or answer,” he added.
“Fearing the worse and thinking that the victim had passed away, the family called the emergency hotline for help,” the chief continued.
The man claimed to have been so exhausted that he didn’t realise that there was knocking on the house door, the chief shared.
