A 69-year-old man was found dead inside a lorry at a multi-storey car park in Jurong West on Nov. 3.

According to Shin Min Daily News, the incident occurred at around 11:50am at the car park of Pioneer Mall.

When a reporter arrived at the scene on Monday, they saw several police cars parked on the third floor of the parking lot, along with a silver sedan and a white lorry.

Blue police tents had been set up in front of them.

Due to the heavy traffic in the area, police officers were seen directing vehicles and preventing members of the public from approaching the tents.
