IPOH, March 14 — Police have ruled out foul play in the death of R. Thinakaran, 62, who had been missing since March 11.

Ipoh police chief ACP Abang Zainal Abidin Abang Ahmad said the case is currently classified as sudden death. Thinakaran was found unresponsive in a hotel room on March 13, following a public tip-off at around 4:20pm. A medical officer from Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun (HRPB) confirmed his death, with no visible injuries on his body. A post-mortem will be conducted today to determine the cause of death.

Thinakaran was reported missing after leaving home for physiotherapy. His daughter, T. Ashmitha, said he suffered from severe back pain, diabetes, and a history of bypass surgery, along with multifocal motor neuropathy. He left in a dark blue Honda Accord (KDQ 1116) but had forgotten his phone.

Police urge the public not to speculate or share images of the scene, out of respect for the family’s privacy. Anyone with information can contact the Ampang Baru police station at 05-5467005.
