Man dies after being found unconscious in Bukit Timah canal; no foul play suspected
The man was found floating unconscious in the canal.
On August 23, a man passed away in a Singapore hospital after being found unconscious in a canal in Bukit Timah. The police received a call for help around 7:25 pm and the Singapore Civil Defence Force responded at about 7:45 pm to the water rescue incident near Wayang Satu Flyover. Upon arrival, rescuers discovered an unconscious 57-year-old man floating in the canal.
They used a ladder to access the water and removed the man, who was then transported to Tan Tock Seng Hospital in an unconscious state. He sadly succumbed to his injuries there.
Based on early investigations, the police have not detected any indication of foul play in the tragic incident. A video circulating online shows police and SCDF vehicles stationed on sections of the first and second lanes leading to the flyover. Later, a blue police tent is visible on the first lane, with uniformed personnel standing nearby.
