A 33-year-old man was found dead on a grass patch in front of Block 235 Bukit Panjang Ring Road yesterday (Jul. 13).

Resident heard a loud thud before noticing motionless body

Koh, a resident who stays in the opposite block, told Mothership that she heard a loud thud at about 12:45pm, so she went down to investigate.

She found a man lying motionless on the grass patch in front of Block 235 and hurriedly called for an ambulance.

Koh added that there was no other family members in sight, and she did not hear any arguments before the incident took place.

Subsequently, the police arrived and cordoned off the area, before checking each floor of the block.

In response to Mothership's queries, a police spokesperson said that based on preliminary investigations, they do not suspect foul play.

Police investigations are ongoing.
