Second SAF regular serviceman dead in two weeks

An SAF regular serviceman, Second Warrant Officer Poh Eng Ann, died Friday night. 

Mindef said on Saturday he was found unconscious on Friday evening at 6.05pm, in a flight crew room at the Paya Lebar Air Base. 

This is the second death of an SAF regular serviceman in two weeks. 

Mindef explained that the 36-year-old air force senior technician was attended to immediately by a medical team from the Paya Lebar Air Base Medical Centre where doctors continued their attempts to resuscitate him. 

He was later sent to the Changi General Hospital where the SAF doctors and medics team continued their attempts to resuscitate him en route to the hospital. 

But Second Warrant officer Poh was pronounced dead at 7.24pm at the Changi General Hospital. 

The Defence Ministry and the SAF extend their deepest condolences to the family of the late Second Warrant Officer Poh. 

Mindef is investigating the incident. 

On April 17, another SAF regular serviceman, Master Warrant Officer P. Jegathesan, collapsed after completing a three-kilometre mass run at the SAFTI Military Institute Sports Complex. 

45-year-old Jegathesan died at the National University Hospital. 

Feels so creepy...
