A SEVEN-year-old boy was found dead in Tampoi, Johor Bahru, yesterday.

The victim was discovered at about 5:30 pm outside their home at an apartment complex.

It is understood that at the time of the incident, the mother of the Year One pupil was inside the home, while the father—who works as a lorry attendant—was out for work.

The mother was only informed about the incident—which befell the second of four siblings—by one of the victim's friends.

Meanwhile, observations at the scene revealed a police forensics team conducting an investigation, which included seizing a bicycle belonging to the victim for further examination.

The victim's body has been sent to Sultanah Aminah Hospital (HSA) for a post-mortem examination.
