Brown liquid flowing from mouth of dead man in car at Paya Lebar

An employee of a nearby business told Shin Min that he’d seen the car parked there when he went for a smoke on Wednesday (2 April) evening.

At the time, a man who seemed to be sleeping was seated in the driver’s seat.

He did not think too much about it until he saw the same car still parked there at 3pm the next day and wondered how someone could sleep for so long.

A deliveryman then said that the car had been parked at that spot for two days.

When they went to check on the driver, they saw brown liquid flowing from the corner of his mouth and called the police, who arrived in less than 10 minutes.

At about 6pm, two women and two men arrived at the scene.
