SAF regular found dead at Nee Soon Camp

Yahoo Newsroom – 

A Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) regular of Military Expert 2 (ME2) rank is believed to have died at Nee Soon Camp on Friday morning.

Yahoo Singapore understands the deceased, whose name has not been revealed, was a senior course instructor from the SAF's Medical Training Institute. He is believed to have hanged himself.

An ambulance, CID (Criminal Investigation Department) vehicle, five police cars, and military police were spotted by an eyewitness at Nee Soon Camp around the time of the incident, said to be 8.15am.

If confirmed, this would be the third suicide by hanging of an SAF regular in the last three years, after a 2nd Sergeant at Changi Naval Base in 2012 and a 1st Warrant Officer at a Lentor training area in 2013.

Yahoo Singapore has reached out to the Ministry of Defence for comment.
