THE decomposed body of a Vietnamese student was found sitting
upright in the cupboard of her hostel room on Tuesday morning.
Friends of Ms Nguyen Cao Minh Ngoc, 24, alerted the management
of the Queensway Student Hostel after they were unable to contact
her for a few days.
A relationship officer opened the door to Ms Ngoc's second-floor
room, only to see her foot sticking out of the cupboard door.
Ms Ngoc, who was fully clothed, is believed to have been dead
for at least two days. There were no visible injuries on her
body.
Fellow hostel residents said she had been in Singapore for less
than six months and was studying English at the Management
Development Institute of Singapore (MDIS).
Ms Nguyen Tsan Thanh Chau, 23, a student, told The Straits Times
that Ms Ngoc shared a two-bed air-conditioned unit at the Queensway
hostel with another Vietnamese student who went back to Vietnam on
Saturday.

Could be a date-rape drug gone wrong case or she had a heart
failure when she was startled by her hostel mate.
Otherwise, can call my good friend, Detective Conan.
