SINGAPORE: A 37-year-old woman has died after falling from a HDB block at Bukit Panjang Ring Road this morning (Jul 31).

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) and the police said they were alerted to the incident at Block 619 Bukit Panjang Ring Road at around 9:10 a.m. and found the woman lying unconscious at the foot of the block when they arrived.

She was rushed to the hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.
