Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan said the 25-year old trainee had died from a heat stroke, Utusan Malaysia reported.

Hussein said prosecutors determined that no offence had been committed after reviewing the investigation paper, which included statements by 64 people.

“There was no foul play detected and we have decided to close the case,” he was quoted as saying.

It had been reported that the trainee, identified as Amir Rusyaidi Zaidi, fainted on Nov 10 while taking part in a training session on the parade grounds. He was taken to the hospital and died three days later.

His father, Zaidi Abdul Rahman, had filed a police report claiming that Amir was stepped on the chest, forced to act like a horse with a trainer on his back, and also ordered to hop like a kangaroo.

He claimed these actions were recorded on video by the trainer, and that Amir collapsed after the session and remained in a coma until he died.

Following his death, UiTM reviewed and tightened its procedures and monitoring mechanisms for uniformed body co-curricular activities.
