A German student has died after falling into a
steep ravine at a waterfall on a popular Malaysian
resort island, police said Sunday.
The 24-year-old died at the scene Saturday after
slipping while trying to take photos on Langkawi
island in the country’s north, said local police
chief Harrith Kam Abdullah.
“It was raining and so it was slippery. He
sustained injuries at the back of his head,” he
told AFP.
The man was studying at a university in the
capital Kuala Lumpur and had travelled to the
island with a group of other students, Harrith
added.
Several tourists have died this year in accidents
in Malaysia, known for its pristine beaches and
thick jungles.
In September the body of a French tourist was
found on another resort island, Tioman, after he
went missing while snorkeling.
