Student jumps to her death from Tiu Keng Leng building

A 13-year-old student took her own life this morning, with reports suggesting that stress from her study pushed her over the edge.

The tragedy came when the Secondary one student jumped from the flat where she lived at Metro Town in Tiu Keng Leng.

Police said the student was found lying on 8 King Ling Road at 5.49am. She was certified dead on the scene.

Police suspected she jumped from her apartment in the housing estate and said that preliminary investigation found nothing suspicious.

Officers did not find any death note at the scene but understood that the 13-year-old had been “unhappy” due to study-related issues.
