Lawyer suffocates in attempt to rescue puppies from metre-deep hole

KOTA KINABALU: A 28-year-old lawyer who went to rescue a litter of puppies suffocated and died inside a hole in the ground near his house in Kg Pisang Babah in Penampang.

Jay Ferrer Jeffrey Linjungan (pic) was found by a family member stuck inside a metre deep hole with his legs protruding outside the hole with the entrance width about 45cm (18 inches).

He was pronounced dead at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital on arrival at 1pm on Wednesday.

Penampang district police chief Deputy Supt Ratan Kumar Singh said Thursday that Jay was trying to rescue a litter of puppies from the hole when he apparently got stuck inside before suffocating.

He said Jay managed to pull out two puppies from the hole and was attempting to take the third puppy out when he got into trouble.

His brother had returned home at about 11am and pulled him out of the hole and rushed him to the hospital.
