A NANYANG Technological University infocomm project officer was found hanged in a staff apartment at the NTU campus on Friday night.
Mr Zhou Zheng, 24, a Chinese national from the Division of Information at the School of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) was pronounced dead in his flat at Block 101C Nanyang Heights at about 10.50 pm.
His body, which was found hanging in the balcony of his apartment, was believed to have been taken down by a friend before police arrived.
Confirming the death, which comes less than a week after a final year student, also from the School of EEE, fell to his death after stabbing a professor on Monday morning, NTU said the university is providing every assistance to Mr Zhou’s family.
‘Professional counsellors and senior university officers were immediately on site to offer support, help and counsel where needed,” said an NTU statement on Saturday.
Separately, NTU President, Dr Su Guaning sent an email to all faculty staff and students on Saturday morning informing them that the university is ‘deeply saddened by the tragic loss of Mr Zhou’ and that his family has been notified. It is not known if the family members are in Singapore.
