Was still seemingly healthy and articulate a day before his passing
Ms Xiao highlighted that the deceased sustained a fall around a week before the incident, but walked away with a minor shoulder fracture.
The day before his passing, he was also chatting with his eldest son for over an hour. During their conversation, he could articulate himself clearly.
She further pointed out that the deceased’s sons had recently developed a routine to take turns caring for him.
Nonetheless, he was still mostly independent.
“You can still see his figure when you turn on the monitor, but in reality he’s already separated from us forever,” Ms Xiao said. “I can’t believe it.”
