KLUANG: The husband of an 83-year-old woman, who died from pufferfish poisoning last month, had asked about her shortly before he himself passed away, says their daughter.

Ng Chuan Sing @ Eng Kuai Sin, 84, who went into a coma and had been fighting for his life after consuming the same fish, did not know that his wife had died.
