A family picnic ended in tragedy when a man drowned at East Coast Park yesterday (Oct 11), less than a month after celebrating his 53rd birthday.
The man’s body was found at about 7.15pm that day, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) confirmed.
The deceased, who was not named, had invited his youngest brother and his family to picnic at the park that day, his elder brother told Lianhe Zaobao.
Soon after the family set up a table with their food, the man “suddenly disappeared”, the 57-year-old told the Chinese daily, adding that the alarm was raised after someone alerted the family that his brother had not resurfaced from the water after 15 minutes.
The family called the SCDF for assistance at about 2.15pm after their efforts to locate him proved unsuccessful due to strong winds and choppy waves.
