Person apparently fell from height

A TikTok clip on Oct. 16 showed members of the public gathered around what seemed to be a person on the ground at level 1 of Jewel Changi Airport.

A woman was seen performing cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on someone else.

A screenshot of a post in the clip claimed that the person had fallen from height, and that passengers helped with first aid before medical staff arrived.

SCDF said that it conveyed one person to Changi General Hospital.

A 56-year-old woman was conveyed unconscious to the hospital where she subsequently passed away, police said.

Police investigations are ongoing.

Lee Chin Wern, chief executive officer of Jewel Changi Airport Development, said they are deeply saddened by the incident and extend their condolences to the family and loved ones of the deceased.
