Mrs Gurung, who is Nepalese, worked at a local hospital as a cleaner.
Her grieving sister Yam, 42, previously spoke of her anguish over the tragedy.
The mother-of-two went to the scene and said: “I felt like something bad was happening when I got home.
“I was planning on phoning Ranjana this morning to speak to her.
“I can’t express how sad I am.
“She was a very caring mother, very nice and very helpful. We were close.
“It’s incredibly painful to lose her.
“I saw her two weeks ago, before I left for Hong Kong. She seemed fine and happy.”
Yam, who lives in Orpington, said Ranjana and husband Him had lived in the UK together for around 18 years.
