- Police said the 44-year-old business owner died after a fall from height.
- She was discharged from IMH against medical advice on July 18.
- Before her death, she was stressed over a workplace injury claim that she suspected was fake.
SINGAPORE - A business owner who died after making Facebook posts alleging that one of her employees made a fake workplace injury claim against her tried to take her life a day before her death.
She was later discharged from the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) against their advice.
She died the next day.
On Oct 8, the first day of a coroner’s inquiry into her death, police investigation officer Ong Hui Xian testified in court about the circumstances surrounding the incident.
There is a court-imposed gag order to protect the identity of her next-of-kin. Due to this, The Straits Times is not naming her or her business.
On July 19, 2025, the 44-year-old mother of two was found dead at the foot of a block at about 7am.
Her injuries were consistent with that sustained from a fall from height, the autopsy report showed.
Ong said the woman had gone to Changi Beach on July 17, 2025, where she consumed alcohol.
She had previously visited the psychiatric department at Ng Teng Fong General Hospital for depression in June 2025, and was prescribed medication.
At about 2.45am on July 18, 2025, a police officer found the woman lying at Changi Beach. She appeared intoxicated, incoherent and drenched with water.
The woman told the police officer she wanted to commit suicide, and was taken to Changi General Hospital.
Later that day, she was transferred to IMH. Ong said the woman and her husband requested she be discharged, despite being warned of the risks.
She was discharged on July 18, 2025, against medical advice.
According to an earlier statement from her husband, she was quiet after her discharge from IMH, but mentioned she was stressed about the workplace injury claim .
He told her not to worry about it as the insurer was handling the matter.
Ong testified the woman had spoken to a Ministry of Manpower (MOM) officer at about 3pm on July 18, 2025, about the claim .
The officer asked the woman if she needed help with her employee’s medical expenses, and the woman said no.
However, the woman mentioned she suspected the worker was faking the injury.
The MOM officer told her to share this information with the insurer, as they were assessing the claim .
No information was provided in court about the MOM investigations into the workplace injury claim.
Ong said the woman sounded calm, receptive and composed over the phone.
As Ong was testifying, the woman’s husband, who was present in court with his father, broke down.
When State Coroner Adam Nakhoda asked if he required a short adjournment of the hearing, the man said he saw some photos in court documents which triggered him, but requested the hearing continue.
Before 7am on July 19, 2025, the woman told her husband she was going out to exercise. Her husband assumed she would be going to Bukit Timah Hill, where she usually went.
Closed -circuit television footage from the block where she was found showed the woman entering the lift at around 7am.
A resident who spoke to the woman in the lift asked if she lived in the block, and the woman replied she was visiting someone.
As the resident alighted from the lift at the seventh floor, the woman told her: “Have a good day.”
She was found at the foot of the block and a Singapore Civil Defence Force paramedic pronounced her dead at 7.30am.
Police officers found her car keys on the 10th floor, and traced it back to the vehicle, which was owned by the woman and her husband.
Ong said the police did not suspect foul play in the woman’s death.
The State Coroner said he would give his findings at a later date.

警方称，这名44岁的企业主从高处坠落后身亡。
- 她于7月18日不顾医生的劝阻从心理卫生学院出院。
- 在她去世前，她一直为一起她怀疑是捏造的工伤索赔案而感到压力很大。
新加坡——一名企业主在Facebook上发帖称，她的一名员工对她提出了虚假的工伤索赔，之后她便去世了。在她去世的前一天，她曾试图自杀。
后来，她不顾心理卫生学院（IMH）的建议，出院了。
她第二天就去世了。
10月8日，验尸官对她的死因展开调查的第一天，警方调查员王慧贤在法庭上作证，讲述了事件发生的情况。
法院已颁布禁言令，以保护其近亲的身份。因此，《海峡时报》不会公布她的姓名或公司名称。
2025年7月19日，这位44岁的两个孩子的母亲于早上7点左右被发现死在街区脚下。
尸检报告显示，她的伤势与从高处坠落造成的伤势相符。
Ong表示，该女子于2025年7月17日前往樟宜海滩，并在那里饮酒。
她曾于 2025 年 6 月因抑郁症到黄廷方综合医院精神科就诊，并被开了处方药。
2025年7月18日凌晨2点45分左右，一名警员在樟宜海滩发现一名女子躺在地上。她当时似乎处于醉酒状态，神志不清，浑身湿透。
该女子告诉警察她想自杀，随后被送往樟宜综合医院。
当天晚些时候，她被转至心理卫生学院（IMH）。翁医生表示，尽管医生已警告过她存在风险，但该女子及其丈夫仍要求让她出院。
她于 2025 年 7 月 18 日出院，违背了医生的建议。
据她丈夫早前透露，她从心理卫生学院出院后一直很安静，但曾表示她因工伤索赔而感到压力很大。
他告诉她不用担心，保险公司正在处理此事。
Ong作证说，该女子于2025年7月18日下午3点左右与人力部（MOM）的一名官员谈及了这项索赔。
警官问这名女子是否需要帮助支付她员工的医疗费用，这名女子回答说不需要。
然而，该女子提到她怀疑该工人是在假装受伤。
人力部官员告诉她，要将这些信息告知保险公司，因为他们正在评估索赔。
法庭上没有提供任何关于人力部对工伤索赔进行调查的信息。
Ong表示，这名女子在电话里听起来很平静、很听话、很沉着。
当翁作证时，这名女子的丈夫和他的父亲一起在法庭上，他崩溃了。
当州验尸官亚当·纳霍达询问他是否需要短暂休庭时，该男子表示他在法庭文件中看到了一些照片，这让他受到了刺激，但他要求继续进行听证会。
2025年7月19日早上7点前，这名女子告诉丈夫她要出去锻炼。她的丈夫以为她会去她常去的武吉知马山。
从她被发现的那栋楼的闭路电视录像来看，这名女子大约在早上 7 点进入了电梯。
一位居民在电梯里和这位女士交谈，问她是否住在这栋楼里，这位女士回答说她是来拜访朋友的。
当这位居民从七楼的电梯出来时，那位女士对她说：“祝你今天过得愉快。”
她被发现倒在楼下，新加坡民防部队的一名医护人员于早上 7 点 30 分宣布她死亡。
警方在 10 楼找到了她的车钥匙，并追溯到这辆车，该车属于这名女子和她的丈夫。
Ong表示，警方并未怀疑该女子死亡涉及谋杀。
州验尸官表示，他将在稍后公布调查结果。
