SINGAPORE : Police have found the body of the teenage girl who fell into the Sungei Pandan canal on Sunday afternoon.
The body of 13-year-old Debra Koh was discovered in the waters near Jalan Buroh Road near Pandan Bridge on Monday.
The girl, along with three others, had been trying to retrieve a bag containing their mobile phones which had dropped into the water.
After less than 24 hours since she was reported missing, the body of Debra was found on Monday afternoon at about 1.
The news proved too much for one of the three survivors.
She and two others had been with Debra when they were swept away by strong currents.The girl said, "The water was very strong...and our heads all went into the water. (We couldn't) get out because the water was too strong. I got out and felt like I could not breathe..."
Debra and her three friends had entered the canal next to Block 182 Bukit Batok West Avenue 8, just before 4pm on Sunday, to retrieve a bag containing their mobile phones.
The two boys and two girls - all aged between 13 and 14 - were then swept downstream by strong currents.
One boy managed to swim to safety and was picked up near the International Business Park by a foreign worker.
A while later, the other two survivors, who were spotted between Jurong East and Clementi, were rescued by the Police and passers-by.
Debra was a student at Hillgrove Secondary School.
The school said it would be ready to provide emotional support for students affected by the tragedy.
The school's principal Yeow Lee Lin said, "My full-time school counsellor went in with me this morning. We spoke to 2A1, the form class where Debra came from and talked to the pupils about it, and our teachers will also be paying attention to their reactions and if there is a need, we will provide the support and counselling for the students."
There is now a sombre silence in Debra's classroom; her empty desk will no doubt remind others of a tragedy which could have been avoided. - CNA/ms

Then, today i read the news, one of her senior said , " i think she deserves to die, she once slapped me." in her blog. Then i read on the newspaper , i saw this : ''she was threatened , if she goes back to school, someone would make her bald''
Also, my mum told me this " u know the canal which the girl was drowned, ppl still goes there to play and someppl even go down just for a short cut" Actually if your life was risked if u chose a shortcut , i would rather walk the longcut than the shortcut ! :P
