According to preliminary investigations, the worker was working on the expansion site next to the Resorts World Sentosa S.E.A. Aquarium when the accident happened. The steel structure collapsed and hit the worker, causing fatal injuries.

The authorities, including the Ministry of Manpower and the Singapore Police Force, are currently investigating the cause of the accident. The worksite has been temporarily closed for safety inspections.

The death of the worker has raised concerns about workplace safety in Singapore. The government and industry stakeholders are urged to redouble their efforts to ensure the well-being of workers, especially in high-risk industries such as construction.
