Family of Estonian model alerted to death through Facebook

http://ift.tt/1qPo3zr PETALING JAYA, July 11 — The family of Regina Soosalu not only learned about her death six days later, they also had to go through the agony of finding out about it from Facebook postings. Soosalu was found dead on July 1 on Rawa Island where she was staying with her partner. Soosalu’s younger brother Aivar Raidla told Malay Mail he learned about her death when he saw a Facebook posting which read: “Rest In Peace Regina.” The shocked Raidla then saw another posting by Soosalu’s partner which read: “I am deeply saddened and totally heartbroken to confirm the worst tragedy of my life. Regina my love has passed away on July 1, in the holy month of Ramadan.” It was earlier reported that her death was not made public because certain quarters wanted the family to know first. However, the family was never informed until they came across the posting. Soosalu’s close friend was reported to have said that Raidla had asked around for her partner’s contact number and managed to get him to confirm the death. Raidla, however, said an Estonian diplomat in Malaysia had been helping the family since the news broke. “The diplomat was on the way back to Malaysia in Sunday, he had a meeting there and started working on my sister’s case a day after he found out about her death on July 6.” Raidla said apart from the consulate, his sister’s friends had also been helpful in assisting the family. When pressed for more details, Raidla said: “I will give you all the answers you need after we have done things we need to do at the moment.” He also said his sister’s remains would only be taken care of after investigations were completed. - See more at: http://ift.tt/1qPo3zr
