KUALA LUMPUR: The bodies of a Japanese couple were found in the bathroom of their apartment in Mont Kiara here.

City CID chief Senior Asst Comm Datuk Ku Chin Wah said the housekeeper found the bodies of the married couple, aged 38, at around 10am on the 13th floor apartment unit.

"We believe the husband was electrocuted while taking a shower.

"His wife heard the noise in the bathroom and came to his aid but was also electrocuted," he said when contacted on Monday.

The body of the man was in the nude while the woman was fully clothed.

It is believed the water heater unit short-circuited leading to the electrocution.

SAC Ku said the case has been classified as sudden death.

"The bodies have been sent to the Kuala Lumpur Hospital for post mortem," he said adding that police would be taking the statement of the housekeeper soon.


Suspected unit is Mont Kiara Bayu lol... most of the units are being occupied by Japanese currently. (Sorry no offense to those who live inside there, just guessing and sampat here)

I'm now looking for a Mont Kiara unit for own stay too.. so now I might need to consider another place to buy.. At least the unit without centralized water heater ...

Guys, I guess the water heater brand is not a big issue... Because I know how to install it myself, without asking technician to do it. Actually it is very simple, and not dangerous as what you think.

The most easiest yet important part is, you have to make sure your Earth connector (green) is always right to connect to the logic board inside the water heater. If short circuit is happened, first, your fuse will break, the rest part of the leaked electricity will flow to Earth, hence to decrease the chance to get shock. (Correct me if I were wrong)

The problem here is, the victim get shocked is probably, the water heater is centralized, means it is hidden inside the rooftop, and the wire might be cut off by mouse or cockroaches.. when the water is leaked, then the person will get shocked without wearing rubber slippers..

So what I know is, most of the high end condos in Mont Kiara are providing centralized water heater, gas pipe and also air-conds(some).. When the condo gets old, the tenants might face these problems..

Anyway... just becareful.. 2 cents here
