A Facebook user shared some photos online showing SCDF personnel on site at the Singapore River in the early hours of 18 April.
He stated that it was a drowning case and shared that the bodies couldn’t be found for quite some time.
The SCDF confirmed that there was a call for water rescue at around 2am but when they arrived, there were no signs of the persons.
The divers from DART were then deployed to do an underwater search using a Remotely Operated Vehicle, which helps to map out underwater terrain using sonar imaging equipment to aid in underwater search operations.
The bodies of two men were subsequently retrieved, they were aged 26 and 28, and were pronounced dead at the scene by an SCDF paramedic.
Police investigations are currently ongoing.
