Based on preliminary investigations, police do not suspect foul play.
On September 7, the lifeless body of a 51-year-old man was discovered on a bench in an alley on Jalan Besar by a cleaner. Despite efforts, the man was pronounced dead at the scene. The police were alerted around 4:25pm on that day via a 911 call. According to initial investigations, there is no suspicion of foul play. The police are continuing their inquiries into the incident.
A cyclist who passed the area reported that a police cordon had been established around the alley, with multiple police vehicles present. When they arrived, at least two police cars were positioned by the road, and a blue tent had been erected to cover the deceased. A group of onlookers had gathered.
An anonymous cleaner, who had worked in the vicinity for nearly four years, shared that on September 6, he had seen a middle-aged man sleeping on a metal box in the alley. At that time, the man was still breathing and believed to be intoxicated. The cleaner visited the spot again on September 7 and noticed that the man was no longer breathing. He subsequently chose to contact the authorities.
