The decomposed body of a 52-year-old man was found in his Punggol flat on Monday (Dec 22), months after his wife succumbed to cancer.
In response to AsiaOne’s queries, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) and the police confirmed that they received a call for assistance from Block 306A Punggol Place at 12.05pm that day.
The man was found lying motionless and was pronounced dead at the scene by an SCDF paramedic.
According to the police, preliminary investigations do not suggest foul play, and investigations are ongoing.

A resident living on the same floor told Shin Min Daily News that the man had moved into the unit with his wife around two years ago and that she used to see them together frequently.
