HOURS after celebrating his wedding, the groom was found dead on the driveway of the Hilton Hotel in Orchard Road early on Wednesday. Mr Vernon Leong Jun Wei, 31, who ran a computer shop in Sim Lim Square, had earlier held his wedding reception at the five-star hotel attended by over 300 guests. He was last seen smoking at the rooftop garden on the 24th floor of the hotel. His body, clad in T-shirt and shorts, was found on the driveway of the hotel at about 3am. Police received a call about the case at 3.25am and paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. The man and his newly-wed wife, who is said to be three years older than the groom, were staying in the hotel on Wednesday before their wedding reception. Guests were shocked when they heard of Mr Leong's death. Said one of them: 'He was a very cheerful person and had just got married. Nobody could believe he was dead just hours after celebrating his wedding.'

What do you expect with a name like "Vernon" and a surname "Leong".

Eight minutes later, he lay face-up on the hotel driveway, dead from severe head and chest injuries. Police said on Wednesday that he had fallen from a height, but it appears they have yet to resolve the mystery of how he fell or where he fell from.

The 56-year-old housewife, who wanted to be known only as Madam Tang, was going to the same shop to buy tickets for her husband.
She said: 'He asked me in Cantonese: 'Auntie, are you going to buy 4D?' He was very cheerful and looked normal.'

But by evening, his demeanour had taken a drastic turn.
At around 9pm, the 39-year-old lay dying at the foot of Block 543.

Is this the same old Hilton Hotel at Orchard Road?
A US oil rigger once killed his Thai wife in one of the guest suites there and then sealed her body in a suitcase and moved to a rented house or condo for a decade or so. After his death, his son reported to the police of what happened and the suitcase.
Next to Hilton, was the Mingcourt Hotel, a Japanese bride was pushed to her death by her husband during the honeymoon.
Further down the road at Mandarin Hotel, a guest died felt off the high floor pool.
Haunted?

Another death was when a valet parking a Porche at the Hilton accelerated suddenly, car went out of control and killed an innocent pedestrian in the drive way. This hotel becoming very suay. Time to demolish and rebuild soon.

As a kid, I was told not to walk on that side of Orchard Road. :p

Look at his pathetic small apartment. Why is he chalking such a high debt !

HOtel doing business got this kind of sway customer. Bad name only .

Story Two

Here goes..this hotel is located opp. Meridien at somerset. I think alot of you should notice it. Its opp. the istana also. The building if u see it is dark and spooky. There will be a guard standing at the entrance. I have always wondered why this hotel was never demolished although it has been there for decades, abandoned. I was intrested in what actually went on there. A friend of mine from the hotel industry, told me this story. There was this eurasian couple who had their second honeymoon there.

They were quite old at that time. Maybe in their forties. Anyway word has it that they had a huge quarrel and the wife went back to her homeland leaving the husband here.

The husband being very distraught with the wife leaving, jumped to his death at the hotel itself.

Management has been said to have blocked that room. But as years got by and “things” never did occur they decided to open it back to guests.

The unfortunante guests who moved in after it was opened happened to be a family of 4. The boy was found in the bathtub drowned. Nobody knows how it happened or why.(at this time my hair starts to stand…)

Well..after that the room was immediately blocked. But the floor wasn’t. The other rooms on the floor were still opened to guests.

Management begin to receive complaints of having seen an old man and a drenched boy holding hands at the doorway everytime they left their rooms and came back. They were always there in the doorway..not doing anything….just standing there looking at whoever who walked past….this story was done in an episode of the Incredible Tales.

Is Hilton Hotel spooked?

Do you guys actually heard about the story behind it? One of my mates(an aussie) who was in the management team in Hilton at that time revealed the story to me. He was working in the morning shift, just turned in at 5am+ and saw the body covered by newspaper last year. Anyway the story goes like this. The family of the deceased went to consult a thai psychic about the cause of the incident. He revealed that many many years ago(don't know how long), a bride jumped also on the same floorr, same date and time. And she was looking for a groom to go with her where she is right now, so she thought that guy is for her, she took him. How the truth came about because the family went back to the hotel to seek it's accidents record to as to ascertain the facts made by the thai psychic. The senior management team closed the case and refused to take it further when their accidents record showed there indeed was a bride who died on the same floor, same date and time many moons ago.

Groom's death: Misadventure

<!-- story content : start --> TOXICOLOGY report showed that Vernon Leong Jun Wei, 31, was drunk and disoriented when he fell to his death at the Hilton Singapore last year, hours after his his wedding dinner. At the coroner inquiry on Wednesday, State Coroner Victor Yeo ruled his death a misadventure. The coroner said evidence and closed circuit television footage showed that the computer shop owner got lost in the hotel's fire exit stairway after celebrating his wedding dinner in the hotel's ballroom.

For some unknown reason, he had left his wife in the suite and went into the stairway. Unable to find his way out as the doors only open from the outside, he chanced on a door that opened into the air handling unit (AHU) room on the fourth floor. The room was dark and it was through touch and feel that he made his way to another door that opened to the fourth floor open rooftop.

The rooftop lights had been switched off after midnight and the coroner said Mr Leong would have stumbled in the dark and accidentally fallen some 13m to his death. The court heard that the rooftop had no railings, just a 17cm-high ledge that was 13cm wide. The coroner noted that it was clear that Mr Leong was tired and feeling the effects of the alcohol. Forensic pathologist Teo Eng Swee indicated in the investigation report that the alcohol in Mr Leong's body was 161/100ml.

At that level - which is double the legal limit - a person is likely to display signs of drunkenness that include nausea, slurred speech, confusion and impaired judgement, Dr Teo added. The inquiry also heard that Mr Leong's bride Kerine Peh Li Ling, 28, had called hotel reception at about 3.15am on Nov 4 to say that her husband was missing from the room and that he was drunk. She was told hotel security officers would look for him but they found him dead on the driveway in front of the Orchard Road hotel.
Ms Peh fell to her death last month.
