A TEENAGER who waded into a closed-off section of the sea off East Coast Park to retrieve a ball that was floating in the water is feared to have drowned last night.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), navy divers as well as patrol boats from the Police Coast Guard and the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore continued searching the sea late into the night, but did not find Mr Mohammed Nazim Ismail, 18.
The spot where he disappeared is near a bicycle kiosk around Marine Cove, a stretch which houses popular eateries such as fast-food chain McDonald's. The stretch of beach is cordoned off with orange netting for repair works.
