Mr Teo Sze Siong's family has positively identified him as the Singaporean casualty in Wednesday's Santika Club blaze.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) and the Singapore embassy in Bangkok are currently assisting the family to repatriate the body safely and speedily.
The MFA also conveyed their condolences to the family of Mr Teo Sze Siong in a statement issued today.
In a statement from the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) released today, they said there were two other officers with Mr Teo - one officer is injured while the other is missing.
In their statement, CAAS also expressed their heartfelt condolences and sympathies to Mr Teo's family.
According to CAAS, Mr Teo joined CAAS in 1995. He served with dedication as an air traffic controller at the Singapore Air Traffic Control Centre and Changi Control Tower.
He took on planning and managerial positions at CAAS and was an active member of a team which oversaw the planning of air traffic control systems.
Mr Teo was very well-liked by his colleagues. He was also a very good mentor to younger air traffic controllers who held him in high regard.
CAAS' Director-General and Chief Executive Officer, Mr Lim Kim Choon, expressed his deepest sympathies. "CAAS has lost a good officer. We share the grief of Mr Teo's family and friends. Our prayers are also with
the families of two other CAAS officers who were with Mr Teo when the fire broke out.
"One officer is injured and has been hospitalised while the other remains unaccounted for. Our hearts go out to the families of these three officers.
"CAAS has extended support to the families and will render the necessary assistance to them in this very difficult time."
A team of officers from CAAS is leaving for Bangkok today to assist the families of the officers and to visit the injured officer.
In Singapore, CAAS staff have been in contact with the families of the three officers to provide any support and assistance they require.
