By The Independent

Singapore – A 33-year-old woman who fell onto a walkway shelter at Block 34 Whampoa West on Friday afternoon (Jan 14) passed away due to her injuries.

A 72-year-old man working at a restaurant café on the ground floor heard a loud bang.

He immediately went upstairs to check what had happened, reported Chinese media outlet Lianhe Zaobao.

The man soon discovered a woman lying on the roof of the walkway shelter. He quickly went back down to ask for help.

The man’s colleague, a 32-year-old runner at the restaurant, alerted the police. She later told Zaobao that they witnessed the woman was still panting, although she was lying down with her eyes closed.

A video uploaded in Sg-share together Facebook page on Jan 14 showed several Singapore Civil Defence Force officers and paramedics attending to the woman on the walkway shelter.
