Update (9 Dec, 10.15am): The New Paper (TNP) reports that rescuers from the Singapore Police Force (SPF), Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) found the body of a 41-year-old man at about 5.45pm on Tuesday (8 Dec).

They are currently investigating the unnatural death.

Many missing cases are resolved as they involve people last seen on land, but cases at sea are much trickier to navigate.

The Straits Times (ST) reports that the man was snorkelling alone near the Sisters’ Islands Marine Park on 6 Dec.
