PHV driver, 60, found dead in rental car in Bedok after missing for 2 days

After going missing for two days, a 60-year-old Gojek driver was discovered dead in his rental car at a car park on Jun. 15.

In response to Mothership's queries, the police said they were alerted at about 12:40pm to a case of unnatural death at Block 632 Bedok Reservoir Road.

The man was found motionless and was pronounced dead at the scene.

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

The man's wife, niece, and other family members had rushed to the scene when they learned the news, according to Shin Min Daily News.

The wife was spotted crying at the scene Shin Min noted.

Went missing

The man's 21-year-old niece told Shin Min that he was a private-hire vehicle driver who worked under the ride-hailing platform Gojek.

Since he left home for work at around 11pm on Jun. 11, his family had lost contact with him.

"Usually, my uncle would return home to rest around 9am the next day," the niece continued. "But he did not come home all day on [Jun. 12 and 13]. Everyone at home felt that something was not right, so we called the police around 12am on [Jun. 14]."

The family also contacted the company that rented the car out to the deceased.

By tracking the car's GPS location, the company managed to pin down where the car was.

A place he visited often

According to the man's niece, the car park where he was found was a place he often went to when he was younger.

She believed that her uncle had been resting inside the car before he died.

The deceased also leaves behind a son and a daughter, both already working.

He had no known serious illnesses or financial difficulties, Shin Min reported.

Police investigations are ongoing.
