SINGAPORE: The Ministry of Defence has revealed that a Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) regular serviceman was found dead at Changi Naval Base early this morning (12 June), around 8.50 am.

In a press statement released this afternoon, MINDEF said that the Singapore Police Force and the Singapore Civil Defence Force were activated. It also clarified that the death was not training-related.
