Man found dead in NTU campus apartment
A man has been found dead by his friends in his apartment unit within the Nanyang Technological University campus.
The 25 year old, who's not a Singaporean, is believed to have committed suicide.
His body was discovered at around 10.30 last night.
An NTU spokesperson said the university's support systems have swung into action to ensure that those who found the body are not traumatised.
As for his flatmates, NTU has found temporary accommodation for them.
The man worked as a Infocomm Project Officer in the university.
His apartment unit is located at Nanyang Heights, where staff and graduate students reside.
When 938LIVE visited the area shortly after midnight, there were hardly any signs of disturbance.
Investigations are underway.
If confirmed, this would make it NTU's second alleged suicide case in less than a week.
Last Monday, a 21-year-old Indonesian undergraduate slit his wrists and fell to his death after allegedly stabbing his professor in campus.
