I saw Death today!

At the foot of a block of HDB flats in Bishan.

A Chinese man in black shirt, light beige trouser with black socks and black shoes who has apparently committed suicide by jumping to his death.

Face smashed. Blood splattered. Body twistered. Legs spreaded. Shoes lying next to his head.

Had wanted to take a pic. Decided against it out of respect for the deceased. I am not the STOMP type either.

Medic came and checked for any sign of life.
I am amazed how she can do her job.
She was trying to keep her distance from the body.
Perhaps to preserve the integrity of the scene for the CSI team to move in.
Or perhaps she is still not used to it.

Police came and very politely and even said sorry to spectators as he put up the neon-green police-plastic tape surrounding the site.

The end of a human life. :(
