Four other sudden deaths in last 2 months
December 08, 2006
THERE have been other cases recently of seemingly healthy people
dying suddenly in their sleep.
On 24 Oct, the day he turned 16, secondary school student Danil
Shagimardanov was found dead in his bed by his family. They had
entered his bedroom to wish him happy birthday.
Three days later, Dr Christopher Lim, 35, died suddenly. The father
of four apparently had a seizure in the early morning hours.
On 13 Nov, Mr Soh Chee Yong, 25, a store manager, died in his
sleep. His mother had woken him up for work that morning, but he
went back to sleep and never woke up again.
Four days later, Dr Toh Wei Keong, 32, a general practitioner, also
died in his sleep.
None of these individuals had a history of heart problems or a
family history of sudden deaths.
