<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"-->Two 16-year-old schoolboys were found lying at the foot of a block of flats in the Eunos Link area early yesterday.
One of the boys, Ku Witaya, was pronounced dead after paramedics arrived at 5.30am at Block 667 in Jalan Damai.
The other boy, Sia Chan Hong, Ku's classmate at Tampines Secondary School, was still conscious. He was sent to Changi General Hospital but died at 7.50am.
The boys are believed to have fallen from the ninth storey where Ku lived with his parents, younger brother and sister, and grandmother.
It is believed that the two boys had been with two other friends in Ku's bedroom on Friday night till early yesterday morning.
The two friends later went out to buy food. On their return, they found the duo missing and saw their bodies at the foot of the block.
Ku's parents were at work when the tragedy happened. His father, who is said to be of Thai lineage although the boy is Singaporean, is said to be in the construction business and, according to neighbours, his mother is a factory worker.
Except for Ku's younger brother who was out at the time, the others in the family were asleep during the incident.
Tampines Secondary School's principal Neo Tick Watt visited the homes of both boys yesterday. He said that the school will provide whatever support that is needed. 'We will also identify those close to them and recommend counselling sessions.'
He added that both boys were good students and that Chan Hong was a class chairman and a school basketball player.
A neighbour on the fifth floor, who wanted to be known only as Mrs Yen, said she knew Ku's grandmother and had seen the boy last Friday morning with her. She described him as a 'tall, skinny and very handsome' boy who was filial and often accompanied his grandmother to the market.
She also said that Ku practised as a Taoist medium and that when she moved in three years ago, other neighbours had complained of noise coming from his flat.
The corridor leading to his unit is adorned with religious artefacts and the boy was said to have conducted sessions inside.
A diary belonging to Ku was found in a fusebox outside the flat. In it, he spoke about how he belonged to a group of 'slayers' and was part of a group which called itself 'sexy little fellows'. The police are investigating the cases as unnatural deaths.
