The woman had alighted at Cove LRT station but did not take the stairs down to the gantry level. She instead walked across the platform, ran through the gap and fell onto the track.
New: You can now listen to articles.In his written findings made available on Monday , State Coroner Adam Nakhoda said Madam Wong Soon Heng's death was the result of an accidental fall.
Mdm Wong's husband said his wife was looking forward to collecting her new laptop from work, so that she could start working from home. However, instead of turning right to descend the stairs and exit the station, she was seen walking across the platform towards the other side. Investigations revealed that a passenger had used the intercom at Cove LRT to inform the SBS Operations and Command Centre that someone had fallen onto the track.
State Coroner Adam Nakhoda said it was clear from the evidence of Mdm Wong's family, and former and current colleagues that she did not exhibit any mental health issues.
