SINGAPORE — A man was charged on Thursday (15 September) in connection with the death of a 15-year-old student who died during an outdoor school activity last year.

Muhammad Nurul Hakim Mohamed Din, 22, faces one charge of causing the death of Puah Xin Yang Jethro at about 1.25pm on 4 February 2021, at the SAFRA Adventure Sports Centre in Yishun.

According to his charge, he committed a rash act not amounting to culpable homicide by illegally omitting to ensure that both of the leg straps of Jethro's safety harness were properly buckled and adjusted before dispatching Jethro onto the rope course.

As a result, Jethro died from multi-organ failure following compression of his neck, and traumatic asphyxia. According to the charge sheet, Jethro was suspended in the loose harness after he fell off the rope course and his leg straps became completely unbuckled.
