Everything about the 31YO Man Found Hanging From Tree in Dairy Farm Nature Park

At around 7.20am on Friday (9 Apr), the police received a call for assistance at Dairy Farm Nature Park in Upper Bukit Timah.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) also received a call some ten minutes later for assistance along Dairy Farm Road, near the Dairy Farm flyover.

When they arrived, they found a man hanging from a tree in the park. An SCDF paramedic pronounced the man dead at the scene.

According to 8World, the deceased is a 31-year-old man.

The pathway outside Dairy Farm car park was cordoned off and several police and SCDF vehicles were seen in the area.

The police have ruled out foul play, and investigations are ongoing.

Body of Mother & Child Found in Nature Reserve in 2019

A similar incident occurred in 2019, where the bodies of a woman and child were found at Lorong Sesuai near Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.

A five-year-old boy was found motionless in a car while a 41-year old woman was found lying motionless nearby.

Both were pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigations later revealed that the pair were mother and son, and that the mother killed her son and took her own life as well because she was depressed.

According to media reports, the Japanese woman strangled her son before stabbing herself in the chest with a kitchen knife.

In her suicide note, she said she was unable to cope with work and caring for her two sons.
