A 24-year-old male Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) regular was found dead at the foot of a Housing and Development Board (HDB) block in Yishun on Monday (April 27) morning.
The incident happened at Block 638 Yishun Street 61.
When AsiaOne reached the scene at about 9am, there were at least two police fast response cars and an ambulance present.
A police cordon was set up from the HDB block's drop-off point to where the body was found lying in the drain.
AsiaOne understands that the man, who is a resident of Yishun, does not stay at the block.
In response to AsiaOne's queries, the police and Ministry of Defence (Mindef) said the SAF regular was found lying motionless at the block and was pronounced dead at the scene by a Singapore Civil Defence Force paramedic.
