Rescue teams recovered the remains of Andi Abdul Ghani Kadir at 11:25am along a riverbank in Kampung Batu Putih, Kinabatangan. The 41-year-old editor worked on the popular animated film Ejen Ali before his death. Emergency responders located his body near the area where witnesses last observed him on Tuesday evening. Search operations had resumed that morning after darkness forced crews to halt their efforts the previous day.
The tragedy began when Andi and his 33-year-old wife traveled by automobile from Tawau toward Kota Kinabalu. Their vehicle left the roadway after his wife lost control while driving. Andi stepped out from the car and walked toward the Kampung Batu Putih bridge before disappearing. Fire department personnel received the emergency report at 5:03pm and dispatched a four-person rescue team to investigate the scene located 23 kilometers from their station.
