Friend allegedly confiscated passport & forced drugs on visiting Taiwanese man, who later died

A 22-year-old man from Taiwan has died after taking drugs while visiting a friend in Malaysia. He had recently completed his military service and travelled abroad without informing his family.

According to China Press, the incident took place on 6 July at around 11.05am in Selangor.

The young man, Peng Yuan Ting (name transliterated), was seen behaving erratically on the street before collapsing and dying.

Bystanders captured footage of him nearly naked, lying on the road, eating dirt, and damaging parked vehicles. The video was widely shared online.

Sources told China Press that after arriving in Malaysia after completing his military service, Mr Peng lived with a fellow Taiwanese friend. This friend allegedly confiscated Mr Peng’s passport and forced him to take drugs.

The family reportedly had no idea Mr Peng had left Taiwan and were unaware of his situation until after his death. They had previously asked the friend to return his passport so he could come home — but were allegedly refused.

Following the man’s death, Malaysian police confirmed via urine tests that he had consumed at least three types of drugs, including methamphetamine and cannabis. The case has been classified as sudden death.
