Body of old man found floating in waters around Marina Bay

On Nov 26, workers found a body floating in the waters around Marina Bay at 8am. This case comes shortly after a badly decomposed body was found in Pandan Reservoir.

Lianhe Wanbao reported that the body in Marina Bay was of an ethnic Chinese man in his 70s. He was found wearing a short-sleeved collared shirt and beige trousers.

According to the evening paper, the man is believed to have been dead for sometime as his body was cold and stiff when recovered by the police.

It has been classified as an unnatural death, and police are still verifying his identity with investigations still ongoing.

Apart from the body found in Pandan Reservoir on Nov 23, six other bodies were also discovered in separate incidents in the Bedok Reservoir.

On Nov 5, the body of a man was found.

On Oct 25, the body of an elderly woman in her 50s was found floating in the waters.

On Oct 10, an Indian man's body was found at Bedok Reservoir.

On Sept 22, the bodies of a mother and son were seen floating in the Bedok Reservoir.

On June 22, the lower half of Mr Lin Xiao's body was found floating in the water by a PUB employee.

stomperray: don't think fencing the reservoirs is quite practical. Imagine how many kilometers you need to fence up! Anyway, fencing up doesn't solve the problem, people can go drown themselves in the sea. The gov really need to solve the root causes of the suicides - somehow they need to reach out to those who are desperate to let them know that there is still hope and meaning in life.

@ Getrealz: "Those that HOPE & ASSUME to see more of such suicide cases are basically evil in the heart."

Well observed indeed. Unfortunately, there are lots of such presumptuous hopers & assumers around. I just shared a James Baldwin quote over at the Pandan Reservoir thread:

"There are so many ways of being despicable it quite makes one’s head spin. But the way to be really despicable is to be contemptuous of other people’s pain.

People who treat other people as less than human must not be surprised when the bread they have cast on the waters comes floating back to them, poisoned."

It is sad to see people commit suicide, they are already desperate, imagine the pain & suffering they have to go thru before death. Those that HOPE & ASSUME to see more of such suicide cases are basically evil in the heart. I hope you will be the next dead body to be found or maybe your love ones.
