Realising his wife and daughter were not home, he asked police officers at the ground floor if there were two bodies. The officers showed him photos, and he confirmed their identities.
Can't even begin to fathom the avalanche of grief hitting and his world falling apart upon positively IDing them
A 34-year-old woman suspected of suffering from post-natal depression jumped together with her 3-week-old son from Blk 29 Ghim Moh Road today morning (3 Dec) at 11.20am; a 40-year-old man by the surname of Tan who came upon the bodies whilst walking past alerted the police. Both mother and child were subsequently pronounced dead by attending medical personnel at the scene.
Man, 63, found dead in Eunos flat, 2 blocks away from where woman & baby fell & died
A day after a woman and a baby were found dead at the foot of a block of Eunos flats, an elderly man was found dead in his flat a mere two blocks away.
According to Shin Min Daily News, the 63-year-old man was found dead in a third floor unit in Block 33 Eunos Crescent on the night of Nov. 6.
Deceased lived alone, kept to himself
Residents interviewed by Shin Min shared that they rarely saw the deceased, a Chinese man who lived alone.
He was reportedly not very talkative and kept to himself.
Shin Min reported that the odour of decomposition was detected on the third floor that night.
Three police vehicles arrived at the scene.
Police said they were alerted to a case of unnatural death at about 6:40pm, reported The Straits Times.
The man was found motionless in the flat and pronounced dead at the scene.
The police do not suspect foul play and investigations are ongoing, ST reported.
Residents affected by the two consecutive incidents: Shin Min
Other neighbours admitted that they were feeling fearful after the two reported cases of death in the estate, according to Shin Min.
In the earlier case on Nov. 5, a woman and a one-year-old baby were found dead after having fallen to the foot of Block 35 Eunos Crescent.
They are believed to be a mother and daughter pair.
One female resident told Shin Min that she had personally witnessed the earlier scene, and was shocked to find the pair lying motionless in a pool of blood.
She added that she kept thinking about the incident, and also had not been sleeping well for the past few days.
Right now Eunos residents must be cussing and swearing, given how their flat values probably just went off the cliff owing to the recent spate of deaths heh
Woman and baby found dead at foot of Eunos block of flats, neighbours say she mostly kept to herself
SINGAPORE – A 33-year-old woman and a one-year-old infant were found dead at the foot of a block of Housing Board flats in Eunos on Sunday afternoon.
When contacted, the police said they were alerted to the fall at Block 35 Eunos Crescent at about 12.40pm.
The woman and the baby were found lying motionless and were pronounced dead at the scene, they added.
It is believed that the pair are mother and daughter, reported Chinese-language news outlet Lianhe Zaobao.
A witness told Zaobao he saw that two people had fallen from the building when he left his flat after hearing a loud noise.
The child was wearing a diaper, he added.
Zaobao reported that two blue tents were spotted at the scene.
The police visited a unit on the fourth floor, believed to be where the pair lived, as part of their investigations.
Based on preliminary findings, they do not suspect foul play.
When The Straits Times visited the dead mother and child’s flat on Monday, family members declined to speak to reporters.
Madam Chew, a housewife who lives on the same floor, said the family had moved in about a year ago.
Speaking in Mandarin, she said: “Sometimes when we saw each other in the lift lobby, we would exchange greetings. But she largely kept to herself.
“It’s such a shame, her baby was so cute. She had just started growing her baby teeth.”
Neighbours said the woman was often seen walking around the estate, pushing the baby in a pram.
A neighbour who lives in the opposite block and wanted to be known only as Ms Linda said: “It was always just her and the baby in the pram. Sometimes, she would be trying to put her kid to sleep.”
In 2011, a woman and her three-year-old son were found dead in Bedok Reservoir.
The bodies of Madam Tan Sze Sze, 31, and her son Jerald Chin Le Hui were found floating face down after they were reported missing for two days.
Madam Tan was reportedly suffering from depression and fighting with her estranged husband over the custody of their child.
In 2004, a mother and her two daughters were found dead at the foot of Block 53 Chin Swee Road.
Madam Yap Cheng Chui, 34, a housewife, was depressed as she was suffering from cancer. She used red strings to bind her wrist to her daughters, Kathleen, three, and Calista, two, before the trio leapt to their deaths.
Children around 1 year of age are typically at their cutest, I can't imagine how she could even bear to do this to her own flesh and blood *shakes head*

锦茂连路发生坠楼双尸案 34岁女子与三周大男婴身亡
锦茂连路发生一起坠楼悲剧,一名华族妇女疑产后忧郁,抱着襁褓中的男婴从组屋高楼坠下身亡。
这起悲剧发生在星期天(12月3日)上午11时20分,地点是锦茂连路第29座组屋。
这也是短短一个月内,第二起疑与产后忧郁有关的双尸坠楼案。上一起发生在11月5日,一名33岁妇女抱着年约一岁的女婴,从友诺士弯一座组屋高处坠下身亡。
《联合早报》记者中午抵达事发现场时,组屋后方的草坪上已架起两个用来遮尸体的蓝色帐篷,多名警察正在帐篷旁和组屋展开调查。
拨电通知警方的是40岁的陈先生。他受访时说,自己是路过事发组屋楼下时看见尸体,因此马上报警。
警方展开调查时,数名相信是死者亲属的公众就在不远处坐着,他们个个神情凝重,当中有人掩面痛哭。
据记者现场观察,警察案发后到位于较高楼层的一间单位展开调查,两名死者生前相信就住在该单位。从两人倒卧的位置来看,母子应该是从组屋走廊一跃而下。
母子坠楼的事故引起关注,居民都为母子的死感到痛心和惋惜。
仵作在下午2时左右把两具尸体移走,一名相信是死者的女亲属事后返回组屋单位,但她拒绝受访。
新加坡民防部队回复《联合早报》询问时说,民防接到通报赶到现场时,一名成年人和一名婴儿被医护人员当场宣布死亡。
新加坡警察部队答复《联合早报》询问时说,警方到场后,发现一名34岁女子和婴儿一动不动地倒卧在组屋底层,医护人员检查后确认两人已经死亡。
警方已经排除他杀的可能,调查还在进行中。

Hopefully the baby was fed before she involuntarily checked out, else she's gonna end up one damn hungry and angry imp of a ghost :P
Jumped 就 jumped, 没有办法的 :(
Wasn't there another jumper incident which also took place in Eunos Crescent last year? Not sure whether he/she died in the end 😬
Just another day in the callous little red dot where it's pretty much you die your own business. Next!
Seems to me there have been quite a few suicide cases of late🤔
So damn tragic. May both mother and child RIP.
友诺士弯发生坠楼双尸案 女子与年幼女儿身亡
友诺士弯发生双尸案,女子与年幼女儿从高处坠落组屋底层。
这起悲剧发生在星期天(11月5日)下午1时30分许,地点是友诺士弯第35座组屋。
《联合早报》记者抵达事发现场时,组屋后方地面层已经架起两个用来遮盖两具遗体的蓝色帐篷,多名警察正在帐篷旁和组屋展开调查。据了解,坠楼的相信是一对母女。
住在同座组屋、不愿具名的邻居说,他在12时45分时听见一声巨响,于是出门查看才发现有两个人坠楼。“他们看起来是华人,女子脸朝下看不清年龄,另一个相信是婴儿或幼童,身上还穿着尿布。”
据记者现场观察,警察案发后到四楼一间单位展开调查,两名死者生前相信就住该单位。不过,从两人倒卧的位置来看,她们应是从组屋的楼梯间坠下,因此相信是离开住家单位后出事的。
据观察,截至下午2时30分,两名死者的亲属还未出现在坠楼现场。
《联合早报》正向新加坡警察部队和民防部队了解情况。

OMG, what pushed her over the edge? Depression, financial or relationship woes?
南无阿弥陀佛🙏
