Couple found dead at Chin Swee block, bears uncanny resemblance to ’04 triple suicide

In an eerie case of deja vu, a couple jumped to their deaths at a block in Chinatown, their bodies landing close to the same spot where a mother and her two daughters died after falling from the 25th storey in 2004. 

On Jan 30 around 8.30pm, the bodies of a 27-year-old Singaporean woman and an unidentified man were found at the foot of Block 53 along Chin Swee Road, The New Paper reports. Witnesses revealed that the woman was dressed in only her underwear while the man was wearing a white top and pants. 

The police were seen conducting their investigations on the 26th storey, collecting and marking out evidence. A Hotel 81 key card was seen among the couple’s belongings. They authorities have since classified their deaths as unnatural, and are conducting further investigation. 

The case bears an uncanny (and freaky) resemblance to the mother who brought her two young daughters to  the 25th storey of the same block and jumped down to their deaths. She was wearing a black cheongsam and had a note tied around her neck, said to contain a mobile phone number. Red string was tied around the wrists of all three victims, all connected to each other.
