SINGAPORE -- The mother of a 13-year-old boy was arrested for his killing after she was found uncons

cious and bleeding with cuts on her wrists in the bedroom she shared with her son, news reports said Saturday.

On the same mattress, Tan Eu-Jin, 13, was lying unconscious, The Straits Times said. Eu-Jin was rushed to Tan Tock Seng Hospital but died 40 minutes later.

The boy's grandparents, who lived with the mother and son, found the 36-year-old woman and boy in the room and called for an ambulance. The mother, who reportedly suffered from depression, was hospitalized Friday under the watch of police officers after they placed her under arrest.
