A coffin with the name Nguyen Tuong Van is seen in the funeral parlour Friday Dec. 2, 2005 where Nguyen would be taken to be embalmed and dressed before moving to a chapel for afternoon mass in Singapore. Singapore executed Australian heroin trafficker Nguyen early Friday in a case that triggered an outcry in his country, where people held vigils at the hour of his hanging. Australia's prime minister said the execution would damage relations between the countries. Vietnam-born Nguyen, 25, was hanged before dawn despite numerous appeals from Australian leaders for his life to be spared. He received a mandatory death sentence after being caught with 396 grams (14 ounces) of heroin at the city-state's Changi Airport in 2002, en route from Cambodia to Australia. (AP Photo/Wong Maye-E)
