A 20-year-old Indian worker was killed when a concrete wall collapsed during the demolition of a building structure in Singapore's Central Business District, officials said on Friday.
The Indian worker, employed by Aik Sun Demolition and Engineering, was found dead under the rubble after part of the Fuji Xerox Towers building in Tanjong Pagar collapsed during demolition works on Thursday.
Rescuers found the body of the worker, who has not been identified, late on Thursday night after more than six hours of search and rescue operations. His body was pinned under 2m of debris, The Straits Times newspaper reported.
Following the incident on Thursday, Rescue workers had to cut, break and dig through the rubble, but the weight of the concrete slab, estimated to be at least 50 tonnes, complicated efforts.
