Police said they were alerted to a case of unnatural death on Thursday morning (March 12) when a body was discovered at the foot of an observation tower in MacRitchie Reservoir. 

The deceased was a 50-year-old man.

The man was found lying motionless at the foot of Jelutong Tower where he was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.

A screenshot of a bird-watching advisory on Facebook was previously circulating on messaging and social media apps in Singapore. It informed others that a body was discovered at the tower which was subsequently made inaccessible to visitors.
