Freya, an Australian, died in hospital after a fire broke out in a shophouse in River Valley Road on April 8. It left 21 others injured. Freya's family and friends came together on April 11 at Singapore Funeral Parlour in Tampines, where a memorial service was held for her. There, Freya's portrait was adorned with white chrysanthemums, and dark and light pink roses. A pink rabbit stuffed toy sat beside a memorial plaque which displayed her name and the brevity of her lifetime: 2014-2025. At around 10.30am, an elderly woman arrived and, upon seeing Freya's portrait, collapsed on the ground and wailed. Family members surrounded her as they cried and hugged each other. A man who identified himself as Freya's uncle said he flew over from China after hearing the news, but declined to speak further. Also at the wake was a woman who identified herself as Freya's maternal grandma. She said her granddaughter grew up with her, but did not say more.
