The man later died from his injuries.
Mr Cain Harrelson, the spokesperson, added that the embassy is providing consular assistance to the man’s family, but declined further comment.
The Straits Times reported that the man’s name was Mr Aman Demoz Solomon.
On Sunday, shoppers at Ngee Ann City heard the scream of a man, followed by a loud thud at about 2pm. The man had apparently fallen from the third floor of the high-end mall and landed outside a store called Action City on basement two.
Shoppers and employees at nearby stores reported seeing the man lying in a pool of blood.
He was unconscious when taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital but succumbed to his injuries.
The circumstances behind the fall remain unclear. Police investigations are ongoing.

The United States Embassy confirmed the death yesterday following a query from The Straits Times.
Embassy spokesman Cain Harrelson said: "We can confirm the death of a US citizen in Singapore.

"When a US citizen dies abroad, the department provides all appropriate consular assistance to the family. Out of respect for the privacy of the family, we have no further comment at this time."
Mr Solomon died after falling and landing in front of a store at Basement 2 of the Orchard Road mall. He was found lying motionless at the scene and was taken unconscious to Tan Tock Seng Hospital, where he later died of his injuries.
It is not clear whether the fall was accidental or why Mr Solomon was at Ngee Ann City. Police are investigating the case as unnatural death.
