SINGAPORE - A woman was found dead in the vicinity of Raffles City shopping centre on Sunday morning.

Police received a call for assistance at about 4am, said a local news source.

The woman, believed to be in her mid-20s, was found lying motionless on the third floor parapet near Starbucks.

According to the report, officers from the Singapore Civil Defence Force had to use safety harnesses and rescue lines to get to the woman.

In the process, her body apparently slipped to the ground when the parapet, made of thin metal sheet, gave way.

Paramedics declared the woman dead shortly after.

It is unclear if the woman was already found dead or she died from the impact of the fall.

Police have classified the case as unnatural death.

Let's see how they are going to justify the death. Even if she was already dead, it is not a lesser crime.
And if it was the woman herself who called for their help...

This incident beats the one where the SCDF 'rescuer' stole a dead accident victim's Rolex watch.

Woman in fatal fall was American hotel guest

AsiaOne
Tuesday, May 29, 2012

SINGAPORE - An American hotel guest at the Swissotel The Stamford died from a fall from a height of at least 60 storeys in the wee hours of the morning on Sunday.

The 40-year-old, whose identity is withheld by the hotel to respect her family's privacy, landed on an inaccessible metal parapet three storeys from the ground level, said The Straits Times (ST).

On Sunday at about 4.10am, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) received a call for assistance at Raffles City along Stamford Road.

The woman was found by paramedics to have suffered multiple injuries.

According to ST, the woman was thought unlikely to survive the impact of her fall, which delivered a 'severe blunt force trauma', damaging also the parapet.

When they got to the scene, they could not reach her where she landed on the parapet near the 24-hour Starbucks coffee joint at Raffles City.

They had to access a staircase to get to her and retrieve her body using safety harnesses and rescue lines.

As they approached her, parts of the parapet gave way and her body fell to the ground, landing outside Starbucks.

No customers or employees were standing outside, at the spot where the body landed, at the time.

Police are still investigating and have classified the case as an unnatural death.

A hotel spokesman said the hotel extended its deepest condolences to her family and friends. It is also helping the police with investigations.

The Swissotel The Stamford is the tallest hotel here at 73 stories and one of South-east Asia's tallest.

Business as usual

Starbucks said the woman's fall had damaged the roof of its outdoor seating area and caused water leakage.

However, it is business as usual for the cafe, although the outdoor area is currently closed for repairs.

A Raffles City spokesman told ST that retail operations were as usual at the mall.

So it appears that the 40 year old looked to be in her mid 20s?

I recall that they had a problem determining the age of Shigemi Ito, the Japanese victim of the Ferrari / taxi crash. Twice in such a short time is either the height of incompetence or a time warp has opened up in that part of town.

To fall from that height and velocity, the impact upon hitting ground zero would cause the body to splatter, with the innards and limbs scattering in all directions. Very messy sight.

An utter lie. Caucasian broads usually do not age well compared to Asian ones.

You bet. Two "prostitutes" reported different age.
