SINGAPORE: Full-time national serviceman Kok Yuen Chin had bruises on his head, as well as small injuries scattered around his body after he was pulled out from the 12m-deep pump well at Tuas View Fire Station, a forensic pathologist revealed in court on Friday .
He added that a microscopic picture of CPL Kok's lungs, which had water in them, showed that the lungs contained"a lot of plant material".These were either remnants of leafy material washed into his lungs or larger algae, said Dr Paul. Dr Paul said there is a difference between a person who can and cannot swim, as well as someone prepared to enter the water and someone taken by surprise.
Dr Paul said it was well-established that if a standing person is pushed from behind, there is a"startled inhalatory response", and the person inhales. When they float back up again, it is usually because of decomposition and they often have a bloated stomach.
