The body of a 50-year-old person was found on top of a lift car in Cheras today.
Cheras district police chief Mohamed Mokhsein Mohamed Zon in a statement today said police had received a call through the MERS 999 line at about 1.20pm.
"We were informed that a man had fallen through a lift shaft and landed on top of a lift car at the Sri Sabah Public Housing flats here.
"Upon reaching the scene we found a body lying face-down on top of the (lift) car," he said.

Mohd Mokhsein shared that the flat's lift maintenance company had earlier received a complaint that one of the lifts had been out of service.
"When a maintenance worker arrived 30 minutes later to conduct repair works, he found a body in a face-down position," he said, adding that the deceased had swellings in the face believed to be from the impact of falling from a high place.
Mohd Mokhsein said preliminary investigations found that the victim was a resident of the flat and was unemployed.
The remains were taken to Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz for post-mortem and the case has been classified as sudden death.
