KOTA KINABALU: An American
man, who declined medical treatment for a mysterious head wound, was later
found dead in his Imperial hotel room here yesterday.
Paire Jeffrey Scott, 42, who
arrived in Sabah from the Philippines on Aug 8, checked into the hotel on
Saturday.
State Criminal
Investigations Department Chief Senior Assistant Commissioner Omar Mammah said
the victim was nursing a head wound when he returned to the hotel at 1am
yesterday.
“The hotel staff advised him
to seek treatment but he declined and went to his room.
“When he failed to check out at 3pm, a staff
went to check and found his body in the room,” he said.
He said police also found a
United States naval warrant card belonging to the victim but was unsure if he
was still in the force.
“We have classified the case
as murder,” he said. (NST)
