In response to queries from MS News, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it received a call for assistance at about 8.55pm on 26 May.
One person was pronounced dead at Block 248 Choa Chu Kang Avenue 2 by an SCDF paramedic.
Another person was conveyed to the National University Hospital.
The individuals involved were reportedly a former couple in their 20s, according to Zaobao.
The man allegedly stabbed the woman at the 12th-floor lift lobby before jumping from the 18th floor.
However, he reportedly fell onto a garbage container filled with rubbish, and did not die on the spot but suffered serious injuries.
He was sent to the hospital in an unconscious state, leaving behind bloodstains and scattered trash at the scene.

When they heard what happened, they were overcome with emotion and tears, with the woman almost fainting on the spot.
Police cordoned off the garbage collection area at the foot of the block as part of their investigations.
