A MAN in Kuala Kangsar found his two-year-old daughter crying and lying on the body of his wife who had been dead for over 12 hours, Guang Ming Daily reported.

During the incident at about 6pm on Saturday, the man, who was working outstation, had rushed home after calls to his 39-year-old wife went unanswered.

To his horror, he found that his wife had died and his daughter was lying on her body.

A neighbour said the man's wife had gone to seek medical treatment a few days ago, adding that the doctor wanted to admit her into a hospital.

“However, she was worried that there would not be anyone to care for her daughter, so she insisted on going home,” she said.

The woman was believed to have died from heart disease.
