A 44-year-old woman died after she was allegedly thrown out of a van along the Shah Alam Expressway in Malaysia on May 6.
She was initially believed to have died following a hit-and-run accident.
The incident took place near the Awan Besar rest area, heading towards Petaling Jaya, Selangor at around 3pm.
Investigators were tracing the vehicle to determine if foul play was involved.
The woman's husband has since been arrested.
Was alive when approached
The woman was reportedly still alive after landing on the road, but was not speaking.
An eyewitness said he saw the woman lift her head slightly and could see that she was breathing and moving a little.
She was reportedly groaning at the time and covered in blood.
The eyewitness, a motorist, was told by emergency services to perform CPR on the woman.
He then waited with her until help arrived.
It was initially reported that the woman was seen falling or thrown from a moving van before it sped off.
The woman, believed to be of Chinese descent, died at the scene and her death was later confirmed by medical personnel.
She is from Ipoh, Perak.
Not body of a missing Malaysian woman
Malaysia police have confirmed that the woman is not that of missing 42-year-old Pamela Ling Yueh.
Ling, a Malaysian, was allegedly abducted on Apr. 9 while on her way to meet the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to provide her statement for a money-laundering investigation.
Ling was also apparently implicated in the investigation.
She is the wife of Sarawakian businessman Thomas Hah Tiing Siu.
Police are now investigating whether her husband and several others were involved in her disappearance.
She had purportedly been residing in Singapore since 2008, where she ran a property management company.
She was brought back to Malaysia in January 2025 to assist with MACC investigations.
