A Heart‑Breaking Double Loss: One Family’s Tragic Weekend
When the clock strikes three, the world can feel the thud of a heart drum. For a 66‑year‑old woman in Singapore, two heartbeats vanished in less than 24 hours.
The 48‑Year‑Old’s Final Prayer
Last Sunday, Dec 19, the 48‑year‑old son channeled prayers for his dad at Pioneer Point temple. After bowing, he collapsed, faint was the word. His buddy did a quick CPR, got him to Ng Teng Fong General Hospital, but the clock had already moved on; he passed at 3 pm that same day.
Who’s In the Picture
- Son (48): Gone in the afternoon.
- Son’s Friend: Quick‑acting CPM savior.
- Father (75): Died on Monday morning, 20 hours later.
- Father’s Old‑Time Getai Stage: Once sang with the legend, Wang Lei.
Emotions Go Boom
When the mother got that afternoon call, she assumed a heatstroke. The news hit like a cold cup of kopi: “He’s gone.” Tears erupted. Her son was beloved, she says, “I never thought we’d lose him so fast.”
What Also Went Wrong
The father, a 75‑year‑old torch‑bearer who’d had a bypass two decades ago, suffered another heart attack. Doctors had warned the family in December to brace themselves, yet they didn’t know his son had already slipped away.
Family’s FAQ
- Was the son meant to handle the funeral? No, the son’s no longer there.
- What’s the emotional toll? “Mother feels a big blow,” she said at the wake.
Closing Notes
This week’s heart‑shattering saga shows that at the end of the day, a single circle can ripple far beyond. A community of dentists worry about their next appointment, while other families hold onto the memory that a beat can matter a lot.
