Police said that firefighters found a man and a woman lying motionless inside the unit. Both were brought out and were pronounced dead at the scene by an SCDF paramedic.
SCDF and police investigations are ongoing.
A CNA reader who wanted to remain anonymous shared photos and a video of the fire. SCDF firefighters can be seen battling the blaze, with the block’s exterior walls and parapet visibly blackened in the footage.
SCDF added that three people from neighbouring units were taken to the Singapore General Hospital after being assessed for smoke inhalation.
