新加坡盛港發生雙屍命案,父親的屍體已化為白骨,而女兒的遺體則倒在客廳門邊
這起震驚新加坡社會的雙屍命案發生在盛港(Sengkang)一處公寓,案情離奇而悲涼。根據警方與媒體報導,死者是一對華人父女,父親年逾七十,女兒徐娜(音譯)四十七歲。令人震驚的是,當警方破門進入時,父親的屍體已化為白骨,倒臥在臥室之中,而女兒的遺體則倒在客廳門邊,初步研判兩人死亡時間相差約一個月。
事件於10月6日下午被揭發。一名七十多歲的樓下住戶發現自家天花板不斷滲出帶有血色的液體,且伴隨強烈惡臭,懷疑樓上發生意外。該住戶的兒子上樓查看後驚見異常,遂報警。警方趕到現場後,破門入屋才揭開這場長時間被隱藏的悲劇。由於遺體高度腐爛與骨化,初步推測兩人已分別死亡多時。
據死者友人與鄰居回憶,這對父女一家原籍中國東北,父母早年移民新加坡。徐娜在中學階段便隨家人來星留學,學業成績優異,是典型的「學霸」。她於2001年畢業於新加坡國立大學電腦系,2003年取得碩士學位,2008年更從英國劍橋大學獲得博士學位,隨後在法國國家數字科學與技術研究院任職研究員。如此亮眼的學術履歷,原本令人期待她前途無量,但命運似乎並未對她寬容。
鄰居表示,徐家自2001年搬入該公寓以來,幾乎不與人來往。2017年母親王麗麗去世後,父女二人更加封閉,彼此相依為命。鄰居形容他們生活低調,幾乎不參加社區活動,出門時常低頭快步行走,不與人交流。徐娜更被多名鄰居懷疑患有精神疾病,有人曾看到她在走廊自言自語或手舞足蹈,舉止異常。據悉,她長期依賴父親照顧,由父親外出購買食物與生活用品。
案發後,警方初步研判,父親可能因年老或突發疾病先行離世,而徐娜因精神狀況不穩、缺乏自理能力,在無法獲得外界幫助的情況下,最終因飢餓與脫水而亡。由於兩人幾乎不與鄰居接觸,也沒有近親在新加坡,沒有人注意到他們的失聯,導致這場悲劇在無聲中發生並延續數週。
徐娜的一位大學同學徐榮(45歲,餐廳業者)接受媒體採訪時表示,聽聞噩耗後感到難以置信。他回憶徐娜曾是才華洋溢、極具理想的學者,但近年逐漸與外界失聯,社交圈極小。他形容這起事件是「一場知識份子家庭的沉默悲劇」,既有孤獨與精神壓力的影子,也反映出現代城市中人際疏離的冷漠現實。
目前,新加坡警方已展開詳細調查,包括確認確切死因與死亡時間。雖然初步排除他殺可能,但仍需等待驗屍報告最終結果。這起事件在社交媒體上引發廣泛討論,不少網友為父女的孤寂人生感到惋惜,也有人呼籲社會應建立更完善的心理健康支持與社區關懷機制,以防止類似悲劇再度重演。
A tragic double-death case has shocked Singapore after authorities discovered the decomposed bodies of a father and daughter in a Sengkang apartment. The elderly father, in his seventies, was found reduced to a skeleton in the bedroom, while his 47-year-old daughter, identified as Xu Na (transliterated), was discovered collapsed near the living room doorway. Investigators estimate that the father had died about a month before his daughter, who likely starved to death after losing her only caregiver.
The incident came to light on October 6, when a downstairs resident noticed blood-tinged liquid seeping through the ceiling accompanied by a foul odor. Alarmed, he sent his son to check the upstairs unit, where they made the horrifying discovery and immediately alerted the police. Upon entering, officers found an advanced state of decomposition—clear evidence that both had been dead for weeks.
According to friends and neighbors, the victims were a Chinese family originally from northeastern China. Xu Na moved to Singapore as a teenager after her parents immigrated. Exceptionally gifted, she graduated from the National University of Singapore (NUS) with a degree in Computer Science in 2001, earned her master’s in 2003, and completed a Ph.D. at the University of Cambridge in 2008. From 2009 to 2012, she worked as a research scientist at France’s National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology (INRIA).
Despite her academic brilliance, Xu Na’s later life turned increasingly isolated. Neighbors recalled that after her mother, Wang Lili, passed away in 2017, Xu Na and her father became reclusive. They rarely spoke to others, avoided eye contact, and moved quickly through corridors. Some neighbors suspected Xu Na suffered from a mental illness, as she was often seen talking to herself or making erratic gestures. Her father, described as physically healthy, was said to handle all grocery shopping and errands, suggesting Xu Na depended entirely on him for daily care.
Police now believe the father likely died first, possibly from natural causes. Alone and unable to fend for herself, Xu Na is thought to have died of starvation and dehydration sometime later. Because they lived quietly and had little contact with others, their deaths went unnoticed for weeks until the leaking fluids and odor gave them away.
A former university classmate, Xu Rong (45), who now runs a restaurant, expressed disbelief when he learned of the tragedy. He described Xu Na as a “brilliant and idealistic scholar” who gradually withdrew from social life over the years. “This is a silent tragedy of an intellectual family,” he said, “one that reflects not only personal suffering but also the loneliness and disconnection that modern urban life can breed.”
Police have launched a full investigation to determine the exact causes and times of death, though foul play is not suspected at this stage. The case has drawn widespread attention on social media, with many Singaporeans expressing sorrow over the pair’s lonely demise and calling for stronger mental health and community support systems to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
