The police had received a call on February 26 at about 7.05am requesting for assistance at Block 8 Cantonment Close, according to a statement. They then found the 28-year-old's body lying motionless at the block's second level parapet, according to Channel NewsAsia.
The American was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics, and preliminary investigations indicate that no foul play is suspected. Toxicology tests are being done to determine the cause of her death.
While rumors have surfaced suggesting a possible suicide, there has not yet been any substantive evidence to back the speculation. There have also been reports describing the apartment block as her residence, but ZDNet understands this may not be accurate.
Radtke joined First Meta as CEO in January 2012. Her company posted a statement on its website expressing its shock.
'The First Meta team is shocked and saddened by the tragic loss of our friend and CEO Autumn Radtke,' it said. 'Our deepest condolences go out to her family, friends and loved ones. Autumn was an inspiration to all of us and she will be sorely missed.'
