Teenage Girl Who Fell To Death Was On Drugs

About two weeks before she fell from her seventh-storey flat in Block 431, Bukit Panjang Ring Road, on Aug 19 last year, she told her father that she could see a monster and hear children crying in her room.

Administrative worker Denyse Tan, 18, also appeared groggy, so her father asked her if she was on drugs. When she replied no, he believed her.

A coroner’s inquiry into her death yesterday confirmed that she was on drugs, with State Coroner Marvin Bay saying  that methamphetamine, better known as Ice, was detected in her blood.

Recording a verdict of misadventure, he found that her fall had occurred “in the wake of a likely drug-induced psychotic or delusional episode”.

Mr Tan, a businessman, later told The New Paper: “I didn’t know Denyse had been abusing drugs. I would have called the CNB (Central Narcotics Bureau) immediately if I had known that she had taken drugs.

“I would have done it out of love.”
