The police said yesterday they were alerted to a case of unnatural death along Bukit Batok West Avenue 6 on June 23 at about 5.50pm.
A 14-year-old girl was found lying motionless at the foot of the block and was pronounced dead at the scene by a paramedic.
“Based on the preliminary investigations, the police do not suspect foul play,” they said.
The police were later alerted to another case of unnatural death in a residential unit along Bukit Batok Street 31 at about 5.55pm on the same day.
