THE mystery surrounding the disappearance of a part-time real estate agent has ended in tragedy after his body was discovered floating in Tasik Astana Alam, Puncak Alam, on Sunday. Authorities believe the man drowned.

"Following the report, police personnel were dispatched to the location to conduct further investigations," he stated in a press release on Saturday.

Checks revealed that the man's wife had lodged a police report after he left home in a dishevelled state at around 5am on Saturday and failed to return.
