A car was suspected to be parked on the roadside for two days. Nearby employees thought something was wrong and went to check. They found that the man in the driver's seat had brown liquid flowing from the corner of his mouth and died in the car. The incident happened at about 3:45 pm on Thursday (April 3) on the road in front of the bakery on Upper Paya Lebar Road.
A reader called the hotline to inform the Shin Min Daily News that the road was blocked by the police at the time and one of the cars was covered with a white sheet. When the reporter arrived at the scene, he saw at least three police cars and a crime scene investigation vehicle.
It was observed that a Kia car was covered with a white sheet. Several police officers were searching for evidence. They took out a waist bag from the car and then placed the items in the waist bag on a white sheet.
The items included several 50-dollar, 10-dollar, 5-dollar, 2-dollar and some Brunei banknotes. An employee nearby who did not want to be named said that when he went out to smoke on Wednesday evening (2nd Apr), he had seen the car parked on the roadside. At that time, he could also see a man sitting in the driver's seat and seemed to be sleeping. He did not think too much about it at the time. "I didn't expect that when I went out to smoke at around 3 pm the next day, I saw the same car parked there again. At that time, I felt strange and thought that it was impossible for someone to sleep for so long."
Then a deliveryman also told him that the car had been parked there for two days. Everyone felt something was wrong and decided to check it out. They found that the man sitting in the driver's seat had brown liquid flowing from the corner of his mouth. He immediately notified his boss to call the police.
"The police arrived in less than 10 minutes. The driver must not have locked the door. The police opened it as soon as they pulled it."
Two women and two men, believed to be relatives of the deceased, arrived at the scene at around 6 pm.
They came forward to identify the body, and then one of the women burst into tears on the spot, and the two men wept with emotion. A black car arrived at around 7 pm and then took the body away.
When enquired, the police confirmed that they had received a call for help. A 55-year-old man was found motionless in the car and was pronounced dead on the spot. Based on preliminary investigations, the police ruled out the possibility of homicide. The case is still under investigation.
