Singapore is seeking US assistance in probing the mysterious death of an American scientist reportedly involved in a project for a Chinese telecoms firm seen as a security risk by Washington.
Police confirmed they had asked the FBI to examine evidence from the family of Shane Todd, an electronics engineer found hanged in the city-state in June 2012. The family dispute an autopsy report that he committed suicide and fear he may have been murdered, saying they found computer files linking Todd’s work before his death to China’s Huawei Technologies, which denies involvement in any such project. A police spokesman told AFP they had asked Todd’s family to share any evidence in their possession or have it reviewed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
