“The autopsy conducted yesterday found no signs of injury or foul play.
“However, I have instructed the OCPD to carry out further investigations.
“This is because a viral post on TikTok questioned how a 19-month-old child could have reached the river in just a few minutes.
“Therefore, the police will record statements from the family, including the parents, today. We are concerned that negligence may have been a factor,“ he said at a press conference today.
However, he clarified that no investigation papers have been opened yet, and the case is currently classified as sudden death.
Yesterday, the media reported that Hud Aryan was found dead after his body was discovered entangled in a tree by the riverbank in Kampung Kerila at 4.15pm.
His body was found about three kilometers from his grandmother’s house, 45 hours after he was reported missing.
