26-year-old man found dead on second floor of Hougang condo

A 26-year-old man was found dead at The Florida condominium in Hougang on Wednesday morning (July 13).

Responding to a Stomp query, the police said they received a call requesting for assistance at 76 Hougang Avenue 7 at 6.53am and found the man lying motionless on the second level of the block.

He was pronounced dead by paramedics at scene.

Based on preliminary investigations, the police do not suspect foul play.

Stomper Eric Lim, a resident on the eighth floor, said he was asleep when a loud sound woke him up at around 4am.

He recounted: "I was awakened when I heard a loud impact. It didn't sound like a car crash. I also felt strong vibrations on my window. But since it was about 4am, I did not think much of it and simply went back to sleep.

"Upon waking up at 7am, I saw a body lying on the ground with blood. I couldn't get back to sleep and was left wondering what happened."

Photos submitted by Eric show a barefooted man lying on the ground. Investigators can be spotted at the scene.

Police investigations are ongoing.
