KUALA TERENGGANU, July 8 ― A real estate agent died after knocking her head against a rock as she fell into a four-metre hole at Lubuk Cermai, Hulu Dungun early today.
Pang Choon Hua, 43, from Kampung Baru Senai, Johor passed away while being rushed to a health clinic.
The victim and 14 friends had arrived at the location in five 4WD vehicles yesterday before setting up camp.
