Madam Tang Chee Mun was 84.

Her son-in-law Shah told Stomp: "The ⁠doctor called me on Sunday afternoon, saying an accident happened while she was being assisted for toiletting."

A Raffles Medical Group spokesperson said that it was unfortunate the accident happened despite all the necessary assistance and precautions taken.

"Our nursing staff accompanied Madam Tang during her toiletting when she suddenly fell forward. Despite our nurse's best efforts to help Madam Tang break her fall, she was unable to do so fully to prevent the unfortunate incident," said the spokesperson.
