KUALA LUMPUR, May 31 — A man was found dead in a McLaren supercar parked outside a nightclub here yesterday.

According to The Star, KL Fire and Rescue Department operations commander Najilan Che Pa said 11 personnel and a fire engine were sent to the location along Jalan Gelang Off Jalan Sg Besi at 6pm, following public reports.

"Medics confirmed that the man had died at the scene and handed over duties to the police for further action," he was quoted as saying.

Specialised tools had to be used to open the door of supercar and reach the man, he said.
