Man, 76, found dead at foot of HDB block in Punggol

A 76-year-old man was found dead at the foot of Block 172C Edgedale Plains on Jan. 15.

Responding to queries from Mothership, the Singapore Police Force said it was alerted at about 8:15am to a case of fall from height.

The man was found lying motionless at the foot of the block.

He was pronounced dead at the scene by a Singapore Civil Defence Force paramedic.

Based on preliminary investigations, no foul play is suspected, the police said.

Police investigations are ongoing.

Videos of the scene were posted to the Singapore Incidents Facebook page.

In them, a police cordon could be seen with multiple police cars parked nearby.

A police tent has presumably been placed over the body in front of the block's bin area.
