A MAN was found dead in the Singapore River early Friday morning
just before midnight.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) received a call from a
member of the public at 11.25pm on Thursday, informing them that
somebody had jumped into the river, near Collyer Quay.
The SCDF team arrived at the scene six minutes later and began
the search.
DART rescuers finally retrieved the man's body at 2am on Friday,
two metres from the river bank. He was pronounced dead by SCDF
paramedics at the scene.
The victim has been identified as a Caucasian man in his
30s.
