While in October 2015, Enforcement Agency Integrity Commission (EAIC) also through an open inquiry found one death case caused by the police. Those cases are as follows: Case 1- Chandran Perumal74 3.44 On 16 January 2015, Coroner’s Court of Kuala Lumpur declared that the police of IPD Dang Wangi and Cheras were responsible for the death of Chandran Perumal who was 47 years old. Chandran was reported dead on 10 September 2012 in Dang Wangi lock-up, after 4 days in detention. According to the Coroner, Tuan Ahmad Bache, the police failed to provide treatment or send Chandran to hospital although the health status of the suspect was informed to Magistrate during remand application and the Magistrate commanded to send him to hospital. The Coroner also found that his death was only reported after 12 hours. 3.45 According to the pathologist, Dr. Nurul Kharmila Abdullah, the death of Chandran Perumal could be prevented if he received the needed treatment as the suspect died due to ‘hypertensive heart disease’. 3.46 In addition, Coroner’s Court also found the injury on suspect’s head was resulted from physical trauma and other actions. According to Coroner, PDRM should take the responsibility on the death of suspect if the injury was caused either by the police or other detainees. Case 2 – P.
