Newater plant worker found dead in tank
Police are investigating death, which has been classified as unnatural

WHEN dinner never came last Thursday night, Madam Susan Ang became worried about the whereabouts of her husband.
By the next morning, with still no word from the 65-year-old engineer, Madam Ang decided to visit his employer Keppel Seghers at the Ulu Pandan
Newater Plant, which it operates.
Hearing of his disappearance, Keppel Seghers and national water agency PUB mounted a search immediately for Mr Michael Choo Quee Hock.
At about 3pm, staff who had been combing the Ulu Pandan Water Reclamation Plant, where the Newater plant is located, found Mr Choo floating in a water tank.
The 3m to 4m high tank contained sewage water about 1.8m deep. It is understood a fibreglass cover was also found.
The police and Civil Defence were immediately summoned, but it was too late.
Officers who pulled Mr Choo out of the water using a ladder and ropes said he showed no signs of life. He also appeared bloated.
Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene, said a Singapore Civil Defence Force spokesman.
Earlier media reports said the man left for work as usual on Thursday morning. He went for lunch around 11am and returned at about noon.
After that, he was not heard from again.
Madam Ang felt something was wrong when her husband, who usually buys dinner and delivers it to her workplace, did not turn up.
Her repeated calls to him went unanswered.
It is understood that the bespectacled, clean-cut man was in good health and was feeling well that day.
When contacted, Madam Ang declined to comment.
Mr Choo, who leaves behind his wife, two sons and two grandsons, was cremated yesterday afternoon.
The police have classified the case as an unnatural death and are investigating.
