KUALA LUMPUR, May 31 — The cause of death of an alleged accomplice of fugitive businessman Low Taek Jho or Jho Low was due to a sudden massive stroke.
The law firm, Valen, Oh & Partners, claiming to represent the late Kee Kok Thiam and family, in a statement today, confirmed the matter said that the 56-year-old suspect in the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) and SRC International Sdn Bhd scandal died at a hospital two days ago (May 29).
