THE naked body of a young woman was found in the lap pool of a bungalow in an exclusive Sentosa residential estate yesterday morning.
The body of 24-year-old Li Hong Yan, a China national who is believed to have drowned, was found floating face-down in the pool at the back of the Sentosa Cove house by a maid at about 8am.
Paramedics pronounced her dead over an hour later. She is believed to have spent the night at the house with its owner, Mr Adrian Chua Boon Chye, after they met at a party on Tuesday evening.
Ms Li had arrived in Singapore on Nov 10 last year and started working the following month as a catering supervisor at a restaurant and catering business in Tuas.
Mr Chua, 39, is the founder and chief executive officer of Roundhill Capital, a real estate investment advisory firm, registered here under his residential address.
He is unmarried and is said to have lived at the three-storey house along Ocean Drive for over a year. Calls made to both his home and mobile phone yesterday went unanswered.
