SINGAPORE – A girl who fell to her death in January at a multi-storey carpark was riding her friend’s fixed-gear bicycle down a slope in the building, police investigations revealed.
Such bicycles generally do not have handbrakes.
The 13-year-old had started to learn to ride a bicycle only when she was in Primary 6 and was still a novice at cycling, the state coroner was told on Thursday (Sept 3) during an inquiry into her death.
The girl was found motionless at the ground level of the multi-storey carpark at Blk 526A Pasir Ris Street 51 on the afternoon of Jan 8. She was pronounced dead by paramedics at the scene.
Chinese-language newspaper Shin Min Daily News reported that a domestic helper, who spotted the girl lying at the foot of the building after hearing a loud noise, called the Singapore Civil Defence Force and the police.
