A cleaner found a 51-year-old man lying motionless in an alley near 36 Upper Weld Road on Monday (Sept 7) afternoon.<\/p>\n
He called the police after finding that the man had stopped breathing, according to a report by Shin Min Daily News on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The incident happened at around 4.25pm, and the alley was subsequently cordoned off.<\/p>\n
A man who goes by Lu, 70, told the Chinese newspaper that he saw police cars arrived when cycling past the area.<\/p>\n
At around 5pm, at least two police cars arrived, and a blue tent was seen covering the body, with several members of the public gathered nearby, Shin Min reported.<\/p>\n
A male cleaner who declined to be named said he had seen the man sleeping on a metal box in the alley on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n
The man was still breathing then, and the cleaner thought he might have been drunk.<\/p>\n
The cleaner said he had worked in the area for nearly four years and often saw intoxicated people sleeping in the alley.<\/p>\n
The police confirmed to AsiaOne that the man was found motionless on a bench and was pronounced dead at the scene by an SCDF paramedic.<\/p>\n
Based on preliminary investigations, the police do not suspect foul play.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Police investigations are ongoing.<\/p>\n
