The death of the detainee Thanaseelan Muniandy was preventable had the police followed lock-up rules by rushing him to the hospital when health complications occurred, according to his family's lawyers.

They said that a post-mortem had been performed on the deceased at Sungai Buloh Hospital today, and the cause of death was determined to be "septicaemia due to suppurative peritonitis as a consequence of perforated gastric ulcer".
