"Police investigations to ascertain the causes and circumstances connected with these two deaths have been completed and submitted to the State Coroner," said Dr Ng."The State Coroner found that there was no evidence of foul play and that the deaths were deliberate acts of suicide."
Dr Ng was responding to a parliamentary question by Non-Constituency Member of Parliament Dennis Tan, who asked about the causes of the two men's deaths, and whether they were related to issues experienced in the course of service.
