Police NSF who died from gunshot wound lost about S$10,000 in job scam: Coroner's court​

SINGAPORE: A full-time police national serviceman who died of a gunshot wound to his head at the Special Operations Command (SOC) base lost about S$10,000 in a job scam, a coroner's court heard on Wednesday (Feb 1).

Mr Finnegan Tan Yao Jie also expressed suicidal thoughts to family members and a colleague, and his superiors had considered barring him from firearms for a period of time.

Mr Tan was found dead, aged 21, in a toilet cubicle at the SOC, with a revolver drawn from the police armoury on Aug 30, 2021.

The inquiry into Mr Tan's death opened on Wednesday, with an investigating officer taking the stand to share his findings.

Mr Tan was found inside the toilet on the morning of Aug 30, 2021. Witnesses heard the gunshot, and there was no one else in the toilet when Mr Tan is believed to have fired the shot to his head, the court heard.

When his body was discovered, officers at the scene shouted for help and trained medics aided Mr Tan, but no pulse was detected.

He was declared dead by paramedics who arrived shortly at the scene.
