  "summary": "A 57-year-old man passed away in a Singapore hospital following his unconscious rescue from a canal in Bukit Timah on Saturday evening, according to the Malay Mail. The Singapore police were alerted to the incident around 7.25pm, and the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) was called approximately 20 minutes later to assist with the water rescue near the Wayang Satu Flyover. Upon arrival, SCDF rescuers found the man floating in the canal and used a ladder to bring him to safety. He was subsequently transported to Tan Tock Seng Hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries. Police have stated that they found no indication of foul play and are currently conducting ongoing investigations into the incident.",
