A Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) official collapsed after a run and died in his home on Wednesday night, reported The Straits Times.

Ng Tiong Lee, 47, a deputy director at DSTA, collapsed at his Sin Ming Walk condominium after his run, the same paper said.

He is remembered by his ex-colleague, Minister of State for National Development and Manpower Tan Chuan Jin on his Facebook page.

“I just got back home and my heart is very heavy… my old colleague has just passed away,” said Tan on his Facebook.

Comments from the public expressing their condolences have been pouring in on Tan’s page in response to his post.

Police said they received a call for help from Ng’s wife at 8:55pm on Wednesday night, reported ST. The paper added that at 9pm, Ng’s wife followed up with the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) when Ng suffered a stroke.

SCDF arrived at the scene and diagnosed that Ng had suffered a heart attack, according to Asiaone. Ng was then rushed to Tan Tock Seng Hospital where he passed away later in the night.

Ng leaves behind his 46-year-old wife, Tay Chay Wah and a son, Ng Yan Ming.

His death comes after an NSman fainted and died during his individual physical proficiency test (IPPT) at Kranji Camp on Tuesday morning.
