Real estate agent dies after falling and knocking head against rock

A real estate agent died after knocking her head against a rock as she fell into a four-metre hole at Lubuk Cermai, Hulu Dungun early Friday.

Pang Choon Hua, 43, from Kampung Baru Senai, Johor passed away while being rushed to a health clinic.

The victim and 14 friends had arrived at the location in five 4WD vehicles yesterday before setting up camp.

Prior to the incident, she was said to have been recording an attempt by a member of the group to cross the river in one of the vehicles.

However, she was believed to have stepped back unaware that there was a gaping hole behind her which was covered with dense foliage.

Dungun district police chief Supt Ahmad Zailani Yaacub confirmed the incident when contacted by Bernama.

"The victim's friends ran to her aid after hearing her scream. They rushed her to the health clinic nearby but she died on the way.

"Her remains were brought to Kuala Jengal Police Station before being sent to the forensic unit at Dungun Hospital for post mortem," he said.
