The Star Friday did not give details of how and why Kuhesri was enacting the movie scene.
Neighbours helped to bring the body down before it was sent to the Penang Hospital mortuary. Kuhesri was alone in the flat at the time of the incident as her mother was at work in a factory and her father was in Singapore.
A family member said the girl was last seen playing with a cloth alone in the house before the incident.
George Town police official Gan Kong Meng said police were still investigating the case, though it has been classified as sudden death.
