A 27-year-old woman has passed away on Wednesday (12 May) at Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH), after falling to her death.
According to the hospital’s Facebook post, the woman was an outpatient and had attended a clinic appointment with her family as part of the follow-up care at their clinic.
The closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage revealed that the woman had climbed over the railings in the building and jumped off the sixth floor. Witnesses later found her body at the Basement 2 escalator lobby of Tan Tock Seng’s Medical Centre.
The hospital’s medical staff attended to her immediately and brought her to the Emergency Department, where she, unfortunately, passed away due to her injuries.
TTSH’s doctors and medical social workers are currently offering support to the woman’s family.
Investigations are currently ongoing.

Back in 2014, another patient had passed away from a fall at TTSH. The man, who was in his 40s, had broken a glass panel on the ninth floor, at a fire escape stairwell in the general inpatient ward.
The man fell through the broken glass, landing near a taxi stand in the front of a building.
A witness said that he had heard a loud bang and saw a man “fall from the sky” a few seconds later.
After the incident had occurred, the window had been boarded up and TTSH staff offered support to other patients in the ward, ensuring their wellbeing. Despite landing at the taxi stand where a few other passengers were waiting for a cab, no one else was hurt that day.

At the time of the accident, the man was on a job moving and disposing of furniture and electrical appliances from a unit in the condominium, together with his co-workers.
At one point, while he was standing on a ladder, the man fell backwards over an opening that was above a 1m-high parapet wall in the service yard.
He fell 7 floors from the 10th floor and landed on the 3rd floor. Unfortunately, paramedics pronounced the man dead at the scene.
