Funeral

This afternoon we purposely go to Lavender for lunch.  Singapore casket is nearby and we have to visit our neighbour to pay our last respect to her brother.  He died at the age for 47, very young.  He has a boy and a girl.  Girl is 18 and boy is 17.  He was on litium for many years and recently started to reduce the dosage himself.   I understand he became unstable and his wife bring him to IMH (Institute of Mental Health) but IMH transfer him to Tan Tock Seng instead.  At Tan Tock Seng he ran away and then collapse nearby.  However his wife was frantically searching and he was only found an hour later.  By then his heart had stopped beating.  CPR was applied and heart restarted but he is in a coma.  He died later in the hospital.  It is a sad story.
