Body found near Kallang River


In what appears to be another case of drowning, a man's body was found this morning (May 30) in a canal connected to the Kallang River, situated behind Kolam Ayer Industrial Estate.

32-year-old Loh Sam Loong, an HR administrator, was driving along Geylang Bahru Road at about 10.45 am. when he saw three SCDF vehicles, an ambulance and a police car at the scene. He also saw SCDF officers rushing towards the canal.

This is the latest among the flurry of drowning incidents that happened in just the last two months.

In April, a 14-year-old girl drowned in a canal near Bukit Batok West, following the drowning of two boys off the coast of Pasir Ris Park not too long before.

Earlier this month, in a shocking turn of events, the body of a 60-year-old woman was found at Lower Seletar Reservoir, just over two hours after the body of a 32-year-old man was retrieved after it went missing following a kayak accident.

STOMP has contacted the Police, who said that they received the first call regarding the floating body at 10.25 am. They are still investigating the matter.
