A 15-second video, which The Independent SG has seen, showed a left leg that appeared to have been severed below the knee, lying near some garbage bins and scattered cardboard boxes.

The police also confirmed that the video is real, Lianhe Wanbao said. The clip, however, has been taken down, but not before it was viewed thousands of times. It was reportedly found on Margaret Drive at the Queenstown District.

At first, people commenting on the video speculated that it was a fake or prosthetic leg.

But the Chinese-language news outlet Lianhe Wanbao reported that the police confirmed the death of a 31-year-old man at 37 Margaret Drive last Friday (Mar 4).

They were alerted to the incident shortly after half past noon on Mar 4 and found a man at the scene who was motionless. He was pronounced dead by paramedics. The incident is now under investigation. 

Police say that the case has been classified as unnatural death, but police do not suspect it to be one of foul play based on initial investigations.

Many commenters on a report about the severed leg on mothership.sg had more questions about the incident, however.
