A spokesperson from the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) told Mothership.sg they were alerted at about 9.45am on Sunday to a case of a body floating in the water off Woodlands Waterfront Jetty.

SCDF personnel had to retrieve the body manually, and the person, who has not been identified, was pronounced dead by paramedics.
