An ill delivery rider has reportedly died after falling into a Tanah Merah condominium pool, Shin Min Daily News reported on Saturday (Sept 19).<\/p>\n
Wang Zhicong (transliteration), 64, was making a delivery when he fell into the pool just after 8.30pm on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Responding to queries from AsiaOne, the police and Singapore Civil Defence Force said that they received a call for assistance along 58 Tanah Merah Kechil Avenue at around 8.40pm.<\/p>\n
A 64-year-old man was taken unconscious to Changi General Hospital where he subsequently died.<\/p>\n
Based on preliminary investigations, police do not suspect foul play.<\/p>\n
Investigations are ongoing.<\/p>\n
Wang, who has no children, is survived by his wife, who he married a decade ago, Shin Min reported.<\/p>\n
When reporters from the Chinese publication visited his funeral, his wife was visibly distraught.<\/p>\n
She was with her colleague, who told Shin Min that Wang was a salesperson but had lost his job recently and switched to doing delivery work instead.<\/p>\n
The colleague said that they had a “good relationship” and spoke over the phone the same afternoon Wang died, only for the latter to become uncontactable in the evening.<\/p>\n
Responding to Shin Min’s queries, a Grab spokesperson confirmed that Wang was its delivery partner.<\/p>\n
“We are deeply saddened by this and extend our deepest condolences to his family and friends, mourning with them during this difficult time,” the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n
Grab has since contacted Wang’s family to provide assistance and is also cooperating with investigations.<\/p>\n
AsiaOne has contacted Grab for more information.<\/p>\n
