According to an MS News reader who is a resident, someone fell from his block.
The resident said he saw a crowd gathered at Block 91 when he was coming back home from work on Saturday afternoon.
While he couldn’t get a good look at what happened as he was blocked by people, he did see police officers at the scene.
However, he wasn’t certain whether the incident was a suicide or an accident.
At 3.09pm, a neighbour sent him a photo of what appeared to be a person lying motionless at the foot of the block, with bloodstains coming from the body.

A thin, long object resembling an umbrella was on the ground near the body.
According to the neighbour, the grisly scene was witnessed minutes ago by his kid, who ran back home because he was shocked. He then called the police.
