IPOH: A dentist was found dead in a drain in Taman Canning on Saturday.

Police believed P. Nanthakumaran, 69, could have slipped into the drain while parking his car.

The body of Nanthakumaran, with the face down, was found by his younger sister at about 11am.

Ipoh district police chief ACP Sum Chang Keong said police ruled out foul play and believed the victim slipped into the drain after parking his car.

"The victim was said to have left the house at about 10pm on Friday and when he did not return home, family members thought he was spending the night at a friend's house as it was raining heavily then," he said when contacted.

The body was sent to the Raja Permaisuri Bainun Hospital for a post-mortem which revealed that the victim drowned.
