Man found dead in Raffles Place shopping centre

A 26-year-old man was found dead in the stairwell of a shopping centre in Raffles Place on Friday afternoon.

According to police, the Indonesian-Chinese man was pronounced dead shortly after 5pm, after they responded to a call for assistance at Clifford Centre about half an hour earlier.

49-year-old Raja, who works in the shopping centre, told Yahoo! Singapore that the deceased man works as a money changer from Batam, and goes to Raffles Place almost every day to change currency.

Yahoo! Singapore understands that no arrests have been made, but police have classified this as an unnatural death and are investigating.

Dead body found at Bedok Reservoir

Another dead body has been found at Bedok Reservoir, the eighth so far since June last year.

The decomposed body was found floating on the water and spotted by a passer-by doing his exercise on Sunday morning about 7am.

Police told Yahoo! Singapore they received a call at 6.52am requesting for assistance at Bedok Reservoir.

Upon arrival, the body of a man was found floating in the water. He was pronounced dead by paramedics at the scene.

A Singapore Civil Defence Force spokeswoman told Yahoo! Singapore that they also received a call at 6.57am. Upon arrival, they saw a Chinese male floating on the water and used ropes and lie buoys to get the body up.

Police are investigating the unnatural death.

A spate of six bodies were found in as many months at Bedok Reservoir during mid-June to the end of last year, prompting the Public Utilities Board to improve lighting in the area. Signs showing suicide hotlines were also put up while police patrols were also stepped up.

In the most recent case earlier this year in January, a man's body was also found floating in the reservoir after being spotted wading into the water earlier.

But since then, the area has passed without incident until now.

Dead body found off Changi Ferry Terminal

The body of a dead man was found floating in the waters near Changi Ferry Terminal on Friday.

A police spokesperson told Yahoo! Singapore that they received a call at about 9am. After reaching the scene, the body of a man was retrieved from the waters and brought to shore.

The body is believed to be that of the man missing from a Pulau Ubin-bound boat and believed to have drowned in the sea on 5 September, the police spokesperson added.

The police is currently investigating the unnatural death.

A mysterious death in Singapore By Asia Sentinel

Did a young American engineer commit suicide, or was he murdered? asks Asia Sentinel

A remarkable story in the Financial Times about the mysterious 2012 death of a young American engineer in Singapore has raised serious questions about whether he was murdered to keep him from blowing the whistle on the theft of militarily sensitive technology by a Singapore government-owned research institution and Huawei Technologies, the Chinese tech giant.

Young Dublin emigrant found dead in her bed in Singapore

A 25-year-old emigrant from Dublin was found dead in her bed in Singapore.

Orla Daly, from Clontarf, in Dublin, moved to Queenstown, Singapore, in January 2013. She was found dead in her bed by her best friend Michelle O’Brien, early on Wednesday morning. The circumstances of her death remain unclear.

The Irish government’s Department of Foreign Affairs have confirmed that they are providing consular assistance to her family who are traveling to Singapore. The Irish Mirror reports that her mother Noreen and sister Aisling will bring her body home.

Neighbors told the Mirror that the community was rallying around the family including her John, her father, and her teenage brother.

A neighbor said, “I went to sympathise with John and Noreen as soon as I heard and they were just stunned, simply numb with grief.

“They just kept saying they never expected to be bringing Orla home in a coffin because she went out there to be happy and for a fresh start and now this, like we’re all just heartbroken for them.

“They’re a lovely family, John’s always doing odd jobs for the neighbours and helping out where he can and they have raised three beautiful children so this is just heartbreaking for them.

“When I spoke to them they had no idea what had happened to Orla and it’s a nightmare being so far away and with the language barrier too I suppose but they’re expecting answers soon.”

Friends have said that O’Brien, who found Daly’s body in the house they shared won’t stay on in Asia.

One said, “Michelle had booked to come home to Dublin for two weeks in September but she’ll want to be home for Orla’s funeral and I doubt if she’ll ever go back.

“They were joined at the hip, they did everything together and now all those memories will be tinged with sadness because Orla died there.”

Just weeks ago Daly tweeted from Singapore saying, “Absolutely loving it here, couldn’t be happier. Everything has fallen into place.”

Clontarf priest Fr Larry White has been in touch with the Daly family and has asked that they have peace “at a time of great tragedy and loss.”
