Man allegedly falls to death at Northshore Drive: Passer-by 'traumatised', fence damaged

A man was found dead at Block 409B Northshore Drive on Dec 5.

In response to a Stomp query, the police said they were alerted to the case of unnatural death at around 1.30pm.

They added: "A 40-year-old man was found lying motionless and was pronounced dead at the scene."

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

Stomper Anonymous, who alerted Stomp to the incident, said: "Half of the body was on the road and the other half was on the playground garden facing a childcare centre. The fence was also dented.

"The impact must have been hard. It was really traumatising to see."

Police investigations are ongoing.
