A 65-year-old man was found dead inside a blue car that was parked at a car park in Yishun on the afternoon of 12 April, according to Shin Min Daily News.
His body was discovered by a passer-by, and the Singapore Police Force and Singapore Civil Defence Force were then called in, and the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
The police have ruled out foul play and investigations into the incident are currently ongoing.
Shin Min Daily News reported that the passer-by who discovered the body, Mr Han, was at the open car park near Block 233 Yishun Street 21 on Wednesday (12 April) at about 6 pm in the evening when he found the body.
The engine of the car that the deceased was in was switched off at the time with the door also being slightly open.
Han told SMDN that he called the police for help after suspecting that something was wrong, and the Singapore Police Force confirmed that they received a call for help on 12 April at about 6.04 pm.
Officers from the SCDF and SPF soon arrived at the scene and the man was then pronounced dead at the scene.
The deceased was identified as 65-year-old Chen De Quan, who lived nearby with his elderly mother, and his younger brother told SMDN that he might have passed away at about 1 pm that day.
The brother said that Chen was diagnosed with heart problems since young but was otherwise in good health recently and had no symptoms of illnesses.
Chen, who was self employed, packed food for his mother on the morning of 12 April before heading out, and she was seen in a photo taking a last look at her son’s body after his death.
Chen’s brother said that he might have been resting in his car after making his deliveries, but never expected to suddenly pass away.
