Bangladeshi worker found dead in dormitory

SINGAPORE: The Communicable Disease Centre (CDC) says the Bangladeshi worker found dead on Sunday at Tagore Lane was infected with chicken pox when he died.

He was living in a dormitory with about 400 other foreign workers.

The CDC says chickenpox can result in complications, affecting organs and sometimes resulting in death.

The other 10 workers admitted to the CDC were also found to be infected with chickenpox.

The CDC says most of them are "clinically well", and some will be discharged soon.
