A man died after falling from a height in Tiong Bahru plaza on Jan. 27.
According to Shin Min Daily News, the man looked to be in his 20s or 30s and of Chinese descent.
From videos posted on TikTok and Facebook, police officers can be seen around a pool of blood on what appeared to be the ground floor. It is unknown which floor he fell from.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) informed Mothership that around 3:00pm, they received a call for assistance at 302 Tiong Bahru Road.
A Tiong Bahru Plaza spokesperson also confirmed the incidents saying that a member of public alerted the ambulance after the man was found lying unconscious at Level 1 of the mall.
The security team then cordoned off the area and provided assistance in crowd control.
SCDF conveyed a person to Singapore General Hospital (SGH). It is unknown if he was declared deceased en route to hospital. According to eyewitnesses, the man appeared to be in his 20s to 30s. After hearing a loud sound similar to a car crash, they saw the man lying on the ground.
Although the mall was not crowded, the fall shocked many shoppers, they said.
One of the eyewitnesses told the daily that the man started coughing and vomiting blood. But no one approached him.
Another eyewitness, surnamed Huang, said a woman working in the mall took out a first-aid kit and attempted to help him.
However, other onlookers purportedly told the woman not to touch the man and that she should wait for police and paramedics to arrive instead.
After police were on the scene, they cordoned off the area while Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) officers tried to resuscitate him.
According to Shin Min Daily News, SCDF confirmed that the incident happened.
Subsequently, they conveyed the man to Singapore General Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
MS News extends our deepest condolences to the deceased’s family. Xu, who works on the third floor of Tiong Bahru Plaza, shared that she saw police officers interviewing an eyewitness.
"I heard that the woman saw the man at a coffee shop. After taking a phone call, he stood up and walked over to the glass barrier," the 53-year-old said.
Moments later, he was found on the ground floor.
Responding to AsiaOne's queries on Monday, the Singapore Civil Defence Force said that a man found in Tiong Bahru Plaza was conveyed to Singapore General Hospital that afternoon.
The man subsequently died of his injuries in hospital, Shin Min Daily News reported
