Man, 25, found dead at foot of HDB block in Sembawang

A 25-year-old man was found dead at the foot of Block 308 Canberra Road on Mar. 3, 2026.

Responding to Mothership's queries, a spokesperson from the Singapore Police Force (SPF) said that the police were alerted to a case of fall from height at 7:50am.

The 25-year-old was found lying motionless at the foot of the block.

He was subsequently pronounced dead at the scene by a Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) paramedic.

Based on preliminary investigations, the police do not suspect foul play.

Police investigations are ongoing.

Videos of the incident shared on Facebook showed SPF and SCDF officers attending to the scene, with a police cordon set up.

A police blue tent, presumably placed over the body, could also be seen in one of the clips.
