A 25-year-old Myanmar domestic worker allegedly jumped down from a condominium from the Interlace Condo on Jun 12, 2017, evening.
The Interlace is a 1040-unit condominium development located in Depot Road. It won the World Building of the Year at World Architecture Festival in 2015.
One of the two videos show the women perched on a ledge of the condominium, a person off camera attempt to converse with her, asking her about the weather in her hometown.
The video has since been removed from Facebook.
A highly distressing video taken from the ground level showed the woman jumped, as the crowd below screamed in horror.
She was pronounced dead at the scene by Singapore Civil Defence Force paramedics.
Police investigations are on-going.
