Boy, 15, dies after playing basketball (What? Another?)
According to The Electric New Paper:
HE had seemed fine while playing basketball during recess.
Then, during a break, the 15-year-old boy collapsed.
Fakrul Aiman was rushed to hospital, but was pronounced dead on arrival.
His death on Friday, just two days after Hari Raya Aidilfitri, turned his family’s festive joy to grief.
His grandmother, Madam Shari, 58, a housewife, recalled how he had visited her during the festive day.
The family had gone to her Yishun home that afternoon and the teenager was wearing the new red clothes his parents had bought for him.
Then Fakrul Aiman suddenly told her that he felt feverish.
Said Madam Shari in Malay: ‘He told me that his cheeks and forehead felt hot. I felt him and he was right.
‘He told me he also had a sore throat, but I said that was probably because of too many sweets and soft drinks during the festive season.’
She said Fakrul Aiman’s parents gave him Panadol and soon he said he felt better.
Madam Shari said: ‘Two days later, he was playing basketball during recess at school. While resting during a break, he suddenly collapsed.
‘His teachers rushed to him and tried to revive him but found only a weak pulse.’
The teenager was a Secondary Four student at a school in the north.
Madam Shari said the school informed his parents and his mother, a teacher, rushed to the school.
‘She reached there just in time to board the ambulance taking her son to Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH),’ said Madam Shari.
‘The ambulance staff did their best, but my grandson was pronounced dead soon after he arrived at the hospital.’

- My Most Sincere Condolences to the parents of this 15 year old, Fakrul Aiman. This is getting more and more absurd in the types of death that happened in Singapore every single day.
The numbers of seemingly healthy individuals are “dropping” dead in higher frequencies…what is happening?

According to AsiaOne News (2007):
Over the past three years (2005, 2006 & 2007), Prof Lee and his team has built up a case file of about 50 people who had died mysteriously with no apparent explanation. This was done in collaboration with the Centre of Forensic Medicine at HSA.
He noted that many of the sudden deaths could also be attributed to a previously undetected heart condition. When the condition manifests as cardiac arrest, the victims succumb but this would be difficult to detect post-mortem because the heart looks normal when examined.
However, he agreed that the research so far has only helped to identify the problem and experts are still far from understanding the cause of sudden deaths.
While that might be of no comfort to those who have lost loved ones to this unexplained occurrence, it is important that the statistics be viewed in a wider context.
Given that we have an average of 300 sudden deaths annually out of a population of four million, the rate of occurrence is extremely low – less than one in 10,000 people.
- There is many who links all these sudden death to “heart” conditions but many of whom are seemingly healthy individuals who does exercise regularly….and feel and look fit.
This is a crazy idea that something is linking to all these people who died, it could be stress something that they do or eat that causes these sudden death.
It’s alarming that they are classified as “unknown” and probably may never be re-investigated the true cause of death due the failure of the “system” that almost ignore cases that are medically unable to prove the cause of death.
The true nature of these multiple weird death among the people in Singapore maybe contributed by other means…but not really visible to the ordinary investigation.
Unnatural death should be investigated thoroughly with a database “category” specifically for such cases that cannot be explained clearly by the doctors who examined the corpse.
They should have interviewed the family members of the deceased and get all the necessary information like usual food & beverage habits or usual hang out of the deceased to find out more or simply try to connect to similar cases nation wide.
It can be a DEATH TRAP somewhere in Singapore just like the “Slim 10″ slimming pills saga that caused kidney failure or the China Milk Melamine health scare. It can be something similar to that or worst, a brand new virus just like the movie “The Happening” where the wind blows a deadly “death wind” and makes people kill themselves in the most gruesome way.
This could be a silent attack by terrorist using unconventional weapons of mass destruction and seemingly goes under the radar of investigators.
