SINGAPORE: A 28-year-old freelance model was singing in a karaoke lounge with her friends on Dec 12 when she suddenly felt numbness in half her body, along with a headache. Her father Laurence Wong told The Straits Times on Tuesday that doctors certified her cause of death as acute intracerebral haemorrhage, where bleeding occurs within the skull. Wong, who works in retail, told ST that she had no known medical history and was just on a night out singing with friends. He said he was surprised when told that Wong, who was single, had to donate her organs under the law. The organs will be removed and donated if: The patient died in a hospital; their organs are suitable for transplant; and there are suitable recipients for the organs.
