No foul play is suspected, according to preliminary investigations.
Further police investigations are ongoing.
The latest incident comes after three reported cases of suspected drowning in condo pools last year.
In April 2024, a 73-year-old man died after being found unconscious in an onsen spa pool at a condominium in Tampines.
He was fished out from the pool and conveyed to Changi General Hospital (CGH), where he subsequently passed away.
In July 2024, a 74-year-old woman slipped in a River Valley condominium pool and remained submerged for more than 12 minutes before help arrived.
She was pronounced dead shortly after being rushed to the hospital.
In October 2024, a 37-year-old woman was swimming at a pool in a condominium in Siglap when she was seen struggling in the water.
She was retrieved and sent to CGH in an unconscious state. She was later pronounced dead.
