A 98-year-old man died on Wednesday, two days after a fire broke out in his flat in Pasir Ris.
On Monday, the Singapore Civil Defence Force said it was alerted to the fire at Block 472 Pasir Ris Drive 6 at about 8.45am. Officers had to forcibly enter the unit on the 12th floor and rescue the man and his 90-year-old wife, both of whom had suffered smoke inhalation. The fire was extinguished using a compressed air foam backpack.
The man had been warded in Singapore General Hospital’s intensive care unit while his wife was under observation at Changi General Hospital. The couple’s daughter, who declined to be named, had earlier told Shin Min Daily News that her father suffered first-degree burns and was breathing with the help of a ventilator.
