A police investigation has found no evidence to suggest that an ex-employee of Sumo Salad had committed cheating to seek injury compensation from the eatery.
A work injury claim filed by that worker was also determined as not fraudulent by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM).
The investigation outcome was jointly announced by the police and MOM on Tuesday (Oct 13), after a coroner's inquiry opened on Oct 8 into the death of Sumo Salad owner Jane Lee.
The 44-year-old died on July 19, 2025. The court heard that she had been troubled by an allegedly false compensation claim from the worker, whom she believed faked being hurt.
The police said on Tuesday that it had carefully considered the facts and circumstances of the case, and nothing indicates that the former employee had cheated.
In consultation with the Attorney-General's Chambers, the police will not be taking any further action against the former worker in this matter.
MOM, which also found no evidence of fraud, will admit and process the work injury claim in accordance with the Work Injury Compensation Act (WICA).
The ministry said the designated insurer had reimbursed the employer in June 2025 for the medical cost and medical leave wages incurred for the work injury up until then and will continue to cover the eligible compensation benefits under WICA.
EatGreen, the operator of eatery Sumo Salad, had insurance coverage for the worker's claim.
However, the company's policy only covered two employees and did not provide coverage for the remaining employees required under WICA.
"MOM has issued a stern warning to the company for this lapse under WICA," it said on Tuesday.
At the coroner's inquest, Lee's husband said the former worker had been sending her medical bills, reported CNA.
Lee was worried the insurance would not cover a claim for total permanent incapacity.
One day before her death, she had attempted to take her own life. While Lee was taken to hospital, she was discharged the same day against medical advice.
The coroner will deliver his findings at a later date.

警方调查未发现任何证据表明 Sumo Salad 的前雇员曾通过欺骗手段向该餐馆索取工伤赔偿。
人力部 (MOM) 也认定该工人提出的工伤索赔并非欺诈行为。
周二（10月13日），警方和人力部联合公布了调查结果。此前，验尸官于10月8日对相扑沙拉店老板李珍妮的死亡展开了调查。
这位 44 岁的女子于 2025 年 7 月 19 日去世。法庭获悉，她生前一直受到一名工人提出的虚假赔偿申请的困扰，她认为该工人假装受伤。
警方周二表示，他们已仔细考虑了案件的事实和情况，没有任何迹象表明这名前雇员有欺诈行为。
经与总检察署协商，警方将不再就此事对该前雇员采取任何进一步行动。
人力部也未发现任何欺诈证据，将根据《工伤赔偿法》（WICA）受理并处理工伤索赔。
该部表示，指定的保险公司已于 2025 年 6 月向雇主偿还了截至当时因工伤产生的医疗费用和病假工资，并将继续根据《工伤赔偿法》支付符合条件的赔偿福利。
经营 Sumo Salad 餐厅的 EatGreen 公司为该工人的索赔购买了保险。
然而，该公司的保单只涵盖了两名员工，并没有为WICA要求的其他员工提供保障。
“人力部已就该公司违反《工人赔偿法》的行为向其发出严厉警告，”该部门周二表示。
据亚洲新闻台报道，在死因研讯中，李的丈夫表示，这位前员工一直在给她寄医疗账单。
李担心保险不会赔偿完全永久性丧失劳动能力的损失。
在她去世的前一天，她曾试图自杀。李被送往医院后，当天就违背医嘱出院了。
验尸官将在稍后公布调查结果。
