The body was discovered by Stomper Koh.

"I was at the opposite block in my home when I heard a loud thud at around 12.45pm," she recounted.

"I was curious and went down to investigate where I discovered a motionless man on the grass patch beside Block 235 Bukit Panjang Ring Road. I called the ambulance at 12.49pm. They arrived five minutes later."

The Stomper shared photos of police officers placing a blue tent over the body.

In response to a Stomp query, the police said they were alerted to a case of unnatural death at the block at about 12.50pm.
