A 24-year-old male Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) regular was found dead at the foot of a Housing and Development Board (HDB) block in Yishun on Monday (April 27) morning.<\/p>\n
The incident happened at Block 638 Yishun Street 61.<\/p>\n
When AsiaOne reached the scene at about 9am, there were at least two police fast response cars and an ambulance present.<\/p>\n
A police cordon was set up from the HDB block’s drop-off point to where the body was found lying in the drain.<\/p>\n
AsiaOne understands that the man, who is a resident of Yishun, does not stay at the block.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In response to AsiaOne’s queries, the police and Ministry of Defence (Mindef) said the SAF regular was found lying motionless at the block and was pronounced dead at the scene by a Singapore Civil Defence Force paramedic.<\/p>\n
