The body of a unknown woman - killed in the Genting Highlands bus crash last Wednesday and kept at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital mortuary - has been identified.
She was Eitoya Magdalin, a student from Nigeria.
A hospital spokesman contacted by Bernama said that a few of the victim's friends turned up at the department of forensics and identified the body.
“Arrangements are now being made by the authorities to inform the victim's family and next-of-kin to claim the body,” he said.
With this identification, all 37 bodies taken to the hospital have been identified. Of the number, seven have yet to be claimed by the next-of-kin.
Meanwhile, the spokesman said that five other victims of the bus crash who were warded at the hospital were in stable condition.
Another victim, Nur Fathih Jaafar, 21, was discharged from the Selayang Hospital today.
Three others are under observation. They are Indonesian national Nurul Quraitul Aini, 19, Nurfridil Gusman, 23, and Andri Purwadi, 25.
In the crash, the bus had plunged into a 60-metre deep ravine near the 3.5km Jalan Genting Highlands-Kuala Lumpur stretch, killing 37 people, including the driver, and leaving 16 people injured. — Bernama
