The Shin Min Daily News reported that the deceased was Zhang Chuhao. He was found lying unconscious at home by his wife in the early morning of the 12th of this month. He was rushed to the hospital but died the next day at the age of 54.
The widow, Tan Yasong (53 years old), said in an interview at the funeral hall that her husband usually got up around 5 am. On that day, she heard some noise outside, so she got up to check and found blood stains on the dining table and kitchen. Then she saw her husband lying on the ground with blood flowing from the back of his head. She hurriedly used a rag to try to stop the bleeding from his wound and called an ambulance to rush him to the hospital. She said that her husband was in critical condition at the time. The doctor said that if he had surgery, there would only be a 50% chance of survival, but he might be paralyzed and become a vegetable for life.
"Even if he was saved, he would probably become a vegetable and would need to rely on others for care for the rest of his life. He was full of energy and sportsmanship throughout his life, and he would not want to be a burden to others, so we decided to let him die with dignity and honor."
According to Zhang Chuhao's LinkedIn profile, he joined the education industry in 1997 and taught at St. Patrick's School, Chuan Yuan Secondary School, Raffles Institution, National Junior College, etc. He also served as the Dean of Discipline at Dunman Secondary School.
Zhang Chuhao's sister Zhang Peishan (51 years old) said that students from that time also came to pay their respects and recalled the time when her brother served as the dean of discipline.
