Ms Cheerin Tan, 29, told CNA that her family did not know if her sister was one of the 33 bodies found.
Mr Tan has sent in a DNA sample to help authorities identify the victims, and is currently waiting for the results."She’s the most active one in the family and insisted on going diving when she was 10. So we did an adventure dive together as a family at Tioman," Cheerin said.She went to River Valley High School before moving to the US in 2012, where she studied chemical engineering at the University of Michigan, which her siblings also attended.
"She really enjoys outdoor sports so it’s at least comforting to know that she was doing something she loved in the last few moments of her life." Authorities have not released the names of the victims but more details have emerged about them in the days since the fire.
