Yet another body has been found, while a search for another possible body is underway.
A floating body was found at East Coast Park yesterday evening at about 7.25pm in the waters near BBQ area C12. The body is believed to be that of a 72-year-old Chinese man.
This comes after a body was found near the back gates of the Istana yesterday morning.
The police arrived at East Coast Park at about 7.50pm yesterday to cordon off the area for investigations.
Reporters observed that the surrounding area is quite deserted with few passersby.
Mr Liang, 33, was the first to report the discovery to Lianhe Wanbao. He said, "I stay nearby and take a walk at East Coast Park every evening. I saw a small area cordoned off today with a blue tent set up".
According to sources, the corpse was discovered bloated and floating face down in the water.
The police have classified the case as an unnatural death and are investigating.
In a separate case, the police received a call last night about a person falling into a pond near Khoo Teck Puat Hospital in Yishun.
The police arrived and set up search lights by the pond while a squad of divers searched the waters.
Nothing turned up despite a three-hour search. The police and Civil Defence returned to the scene at 11.30am this morning to continue the search.
