Unexpected Wake‑Up Call: Man Discovered Floating in Marina Bay
On a cold December morning, emergency crews were called to 6 Bayfront Avenue—home of the ArtScience Museum—because a body was found drifting up the water, according to the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF). At roughly 8:50 am, teams arrived and saw the man, gray‑eyed and still fluidic, bobbing on the surface. A quick rescue was carried out, and the body was brought to shore.
The paramedic on site declared the unfortunate soul dead right then and there. A police call recorded at 8:25 am confirmed a 68‑year‑old man’s body had been retrieved off the waterline. Preliminary checks suggest no foul play, so the case is still under investigation.
Quick Recap of Last Spring’s Anomaly
Remember August’s scare? A 45‑year‑old dare‑devotee, famous for chasing spooky challenges, took a selfie‑live on Facebook Live and leapt across the Singapore River during the Chinese ghost month—yes, you read that right. He vanished, and the SCDF Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (DART) recovered his body the next day.
Looks like the river keeps its secrets—and invites baiting. One might say, “Stop fishing for luck; you’ll just cast yourself into the deep!”
What’s Next?
- Police keep digging for clues.
- SCDF advises to maintain caution near waterfronts.
- Community urged to avoid “ghost month” itches that lead to water‑bound risks.
Stay Safe, Stay Informed
Even if your idea of a late‑night adventure is just a lazy swim, remember – the water is unforgiving. Keep your wits about you, and if you ever consider a dare, maybe keep it on dry land.
