At the stroke of midnight, it was announced that Sam's Pan had met an untimely and abrupt demise under extremely suspicious circumstances. The cause of death was unknown.
In death, as in life, Pan was a faithful comrade, performing his duties with a dedication and diligence unrivalled by many. He was persevering in the heat of war, right until his last breath. A brave soldier, he died with the highest honour a soldier can possibly receive... Killed In Combat, on the battlefield.
Pan, born of good stock, arose to his illustrious career quite by accident. He was thrust into the limelight as the only soldier able to cope with the demands of the busy schedule his country required of him. From then on, Pan was a staple at every single battle, a familiar face at every single social occasion, and a trusted friend whom the Fat Flat was proud to call one of their own. Quiet and unassuming, Pan never took credit for himself, but was content to serve in his own humble capacity- always sacrificial, always loyal, always generous.
As of date of publication, there has not been found someone else to take his place. "He was irreplaceable," murmured one member with tears in her eyes. Similar expressions of sadness were heard among his other nearest and dearest. "He will be sorely missed," remarked another.
Coroners are still puzzling over his death under extremely suspicious circumstances. All members of the public with clues or information are encouraged to contact the Fat Flat.
A moment of silence will be observed tomorrow evening, with a memorial thereafter. Messages of condolence may be posted on this space.
In loving memory of a kind, good and noble friend. Dear Pan, may you rest in peace.
*** As with all mug shots, this does not do justice to his beauty and grace.

Dear Pan, you did well.. Thanks for all the food that you had provided us.. You are the main reason why we do not have to eat burnt food. Now that you are gone, we are left with only 2 non stick baby pans.. It would never be the same again... But we would have to live with that painful fact.. We are proud of you, Pan...
Thank you Adeline... That was a fitting farewell for Pan Tefal George. Pan will be sorely missed. I was his father after all.. And there's nothing worse than for a father to lose his son. There will not be true justice until the cause of my son's death is ascertained. He has withstood many a harsh beatings in the past and I do not believe he could have succumbed to such a trivial insult. I could go on writing until the sun goes down, but words could never express how much you truly meant to me. Anyway, I must be strong, and carry on. Rest well my son, you will always be close to my heart.
Thank you Sam and Yi wei. I believe Pan has not lived in vain. Many are the lives he has touched, many are the bodies he has nourished. Indeed, Sam, he had been a good son. As one who witnessed his last moments, I solemnly swear I will not forget them.
Always in memory, Pan Tefal George.
