First World Cup death in Singapore, British woman left £30,000 unpaid hospital bills

[SNAblog]

Will she be HOTAed?

Top hospital in Singapore? thats why the bill is £30,000 and not £3,000. It seems like the hospital is not releasing the body until the bills are paid. So far they only raised £5,300, so still short of abt 25k.

I wonder why this is not reported in 154th?

A British woman who was celebrating England's World Cup victory over Slovenia with friends in Singapore has died after plunging from a balcony.

Sarah Royle, 31, suffered a blood clot on her brain and broken bones in the accident on June 23 and 'died' in the ambulance taking her to hospital although the crew managed to resuscitate her.

The tragic accident came to light on Friday morning when the sisters received a phone call from the hospital in Singapore telling them Sarah was critically ill.

With her sisters: Sarah, left, who plunged from a balcony when celebrating England's World Cup win over Slovenia.

Doctors switched off her life support machine early on Sunday morning after her two sisters, Johanna, 35 and Premsa, 32, had flown to the Far East to be with her.

Sarah left her home in Hebden Bridge, West Yorks., 18 months ago to work in bars and clubs in Australia but an oversight meant her visa ran out and she had to travel to Singapore to sort out the necessary paperwork. She had been staying there for two weeks when the accident happened.

On Sunday friends staged a vigil in Hebden Bridge during England's final World Cup game and posters have been displayed pubs in memory of the popular woman known locally as 'Sarah Shark' to appeal for financial help, as her sisters are facing substantial expense in order to bring her body home.

"We really need to raise £30,000 now to pay for all her medical expenses and to bring her body home, otherwise there will have to be a cremation service at the hospital. We do not know yet if the insurance company will pay out' Johanna, of Todmorden, said.

'She was in a top hospital, the best place me and Prem have ever seen. Everyone has been so good and so kind including the police. The city is absolutely stunning and we can both see why it was Sarah's favourite city.'

Close family friend Julia Curtis, 32, said: "Everyone is devastated, Jo and Premsa are heartbroken. They just wanted to get straight out there.The three of them are so close. They haven't got any other family because both their parents have died, so there's just the three of them.'

'She had a natural flair for living life to the full and she will be so missed by all her friends and family.'

Julia said that more than £5,300 has already been raised by kind-hearted friends and well-wishers with donations pouring in as word spread.

She added: 'Sarah was a very bubbly and outgoing young woman with a natural zest for life. She was adventurous and wanted to see and do everything.'

Liam Busby, 33, of Halifax, West Yorks., said: "I went to school with Sarah and remember her as a happy-go-lucky, bubbly, lovely girl. People have been fantastic in rallying round raising money going round the town with buckets. 'We hope everyone will contribute what they can and I would like to make a plea to the Yorkshire community to give generously.'

A Foreign and Commonwealth Office spokesman confirmed Sarah's death and said her family were receiving consular assistance.

30,000 Pounds? What's that? That's about 100,000 SingDollars. Singaporeans jump HDB and MRT for free all these years, don't they?

The high medical bills is due to non subsidies for non Singaporean. Sinkies gets up to 75%-90% medical sub by PAP Government depending on the ward class you choose. Good that the hospital did not write off the bill and hold the body of the decease..

Don't bluff and blow cow. What 75 to 90%? I stay in hospital more than you stay in hotel. The subsidy is about 66.6%. Interestingly, that's the percentage of votes they get.

We need to take at least 10 instance to catch those in charge .

And then they got to plead guilty for squandering the last remaining money that was left .

Sure the hospital thought that all ang mo or british are rich.

They should know if they still could save her by assessing the woman's condition.

If the woman were an old age sinkie without any or much cpf, doubt the hospital would enen treat her at the first place.

I find some fishy holes in their story. If she fell off from a highrise balcony, it's supposed to be a coroner's case of unnatural death, with police investigation, post mortem and court verdict and all that, with that state footing the bill for the process, including medical from point of ambulance despatch to mortuary release of corpse.

You stayed in the B class ward? I remembered my late uncle downgraded from B class to C ward on his last day of hospitalisation and subsequently all his medicines and chemo therapy were charged as C class rate which is more than 75%
even if 66.6% is a huge subsidy
