The MRT

Ah Beng was on his way home in the MRT train when the MRT tunnel collapsed and he was trapped inside the train amongst the rubble..


When they finally dug deep enough into the rubble and reached Ah Beng nearly 3 weeks later, Ah Beng was already dead.

A subsequent autopsy revealed that Ah Beng was initially alive and had completely no body injury but eventually died of prolonged period of thirst and hunger.

However, there were bags of food (including biscuits) and drinks in Ah Beng's hands when he was found dead in the MRT and they have not been touched. A receipt found on Ah Beng's dead body revealed that Ah Beng went shopping for food and drinks before taking the ill-fated MRT train.

So why did Ah Beng still die of thirst and hunger when he had food and drinks with him in the train?
