A military officer, who went missing after falling into a mining pool in Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan yesterday, was found dead this morning. The body of 54-year-old Lieutenant Colonel Abdul Rashid Shahdan was found floating in the water near Kampung Pengkalan Durian, Linggi at about 9.30 am, about 600 meters from the spot where he was last seen. The victim, an officer with the Joint Force Headquarters at the Defence Ministry, was discovered by villagers along with the police and search and rescue personnel from the Civil Defence Force. His remains were then brought to the Port Dickson Hospital for post-mortem. At 7 am yesterday, Abdul Rashid was believed to have gone to the area with his nephews, aged between 11 and 13, for some recreational activities, but fell into the mine as he was attempting to cross the body of water via a drain. Meanwhile, the Malaysian Army in a statement said the victim's body is expected to be buried at the Kampung Paya Lebar Muslim cemetery in Rembau.
