Bystander50 5th Gear November 27, 2011 Share November 27, 2011 Body found floating by Marina Bay A male body was found floating in the waters around Marina Bay yesterday. HELPLINES Samaritans of Singapore (SOS): 1800-2214444 Singapore Association for Mental Health: 1800-2837019 Sage Counselling Centre: 1800-5555555 Care Corner Mandarin Counselling: 1800-3535800 According to the Chinese evening paper Lianhe Wanbao, the man, described as an ethnic Chinese man in his 70s was found by workers in the area at around 8am. They alerted the police. He was found wearing a short-sleeved collared shirt and beige trousers. The man is believed to have been dead for some time, as when the police recovered his body, it was found to be cold and stiff. His identity is being verified. Police have classified the case as an unnatural death. Investigations are ongoing. This comes just a few days after a badly decomposed body was found at the Pandan Reservoir.

He was found floating by a PUB staff who was conducting checks around the sea.

Kusje Supersonic November 27, 2011 Share November 27, 2011 (edited) Seriously....can some reporter dig up the past statistics of dead in reservoir for the past ten years....as a comparision. Should consider suicide statistics as a whole. Death by MRT, jumping from HDB, drowning in bath tub.... http://www.samaritans.org.sg/Suicide%20Pre...alStats2010.pdf Now just need to analyze by percentage!

Kusje Supersonic November 27, 2011 Share November 27, 2011 Actually, without looking at the actual population growth, I think the suicide rate is quite constant or even falling.... It's just that it is now more publicized and people are copycats. They wanna commit suicide and they copy the latest trends just like people buy the latest fashion.
