Case No. 1582 : After the death of a single homeless man, the remains were left in the hospital for nearly a month. We earnestly request the help of the enthusiastic public by donating to his funeral.
67-year-old Lee Yew Hien is single and has no child. He is homeless and his only family is his elder brother. After his brother knew his death, although he is sad, he is unable to cope with the unexpected funeral expenses. Therefore, he sincerely requests the help of everyone by donating to the funeral.
The elder brother, Lee Ying Yin, saw his younger brother for the last time at the end of August. He lost contact with him because Mr. Lee Yew Hien was wandering around. He never expect that the news of the brother's death appeared on the hospital website, which was discovered by the deceased's niece. The niece, Ms. Lee, said that she was overwhelmed when she heard the news of her uncle's death, because the uncle had been passed away for nearly a month, and the remains had been unclaimed in the hospital, and she did not know what happened to her uncle.
She and her father, Lee Ying Yin, were helpless and did not know how to handle it, so they contacted Da Ai social workers for help by reporting the case and claiming the remains.
According to the death report issued by the hospital, Lee Yew Hien passed away in the hospital at 11.39 am on September 7 due to Liver Cirrhosis with Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis.
Since the elder brother, Lee Ying Yin, has retired and has no job, and now he only relies on his daughter with a meager income to take care of him, he is really unable to handle the unexpected funeral of his younger brother, so he entrusted us to help.
We are handling the whole funeral process of Mr. Lee Yew Hien, which included body transfer, cremation, prayer service, and scatter the ashes into the sea. We sincerely call upon everyone to donated for the funeral so he can rest in peace soon.
If anyone is interested in donating for the whole funeral, kindly contact any social workers of Da Ai for more information. Thank you.
Since the identity card of the deceased Lee Yew Hien had lost, we had to use the photo of him when he was young in the mourning hall.
The prayer service for Mr. Lee Yew Hien will be held on 5th October 2022 (Wednesday) at Gui Yuan Funeral Parlour Petaling Jaya (Hall 1), and the cremation will be held on 6th October 2022 (Thursday). The ashes will then be scattered into the sea according to his brother’s wishes.
