A 32-year-old man was found dead at Dakota Crescent Block 58, on the staircase between the ninth and 10th floors.
The police was alerted at 9:52am on Feb. 24.
The man was found motionless and was pronounced dead at scene by an SCDF paramedic, the police said in a statement to Mothership.
Police investigating
According to Singapore Chinese-language media Shin Min Daily News (Shin Min), there were bloodstains on the floor and the pipe near the staircase.
The deceased’s sister rushed over upon hearing the news, and broke down at the scene.
She declined to be interviewed by Shin Min.
Multiple police cars were present at the scene, and the ninth to 12th floors were cordoned off for investigations that day by the police.
The nearby drains and playground were also investigated, and a cleaner was asked to empty out the rubbish bin in search of any weapon.
Deceased lived alone
A resident living on the 11th floor told Shin Min that she did not hear or see anything amiss in the morning.
A 76-year-old resident, surnamed Qiu, who was on friendly terms with the deceased was shocked and sad over his death.
He had always greeted Qiu and even helped with her shopping.
The deceased worked as a food delivery man.
According to Qiu, he lived alone and has two sisters who would visit frequently despite not living nearby.
When the sisters visited, she would hear some arguments at times.
Qiu shared that the man had been lacking sleep, and would shout loudly at times.
Cause of death remains unknown
The police said that this was a case of unnatural death.
“Based on preliminary investigations, the Police do not suspect foul play.” they added.
Investigations are ongoing.
