A reclusive male senior was found dead in his Tampines home following days of odour emanating from a flat neighbours believed was empty.
The man’s body was discovered on June 3, in a unit on the 3rd floor of Block 101 Tampines Street 11.
In response to Stomp’s queries, police said they were notified of a case of unnatural death at about 7.05pm. A 60-year-old man was found motionless and was pronounced dead at the scene.
When Shin Min Daily News visited the block, the unit’s windows were closed. The area outside appeared tidy, with no shoe racks or personal belongings in sight. However, a foul odour continued to linger along the corridor.
Wang (transliteration), a 51-year-old neighbour, revealed that an elderly man resided in the flat alone. During the two years she lived there, she only saw the man twice: “I rarely saw him enter or exit the flat. Plus, there were no items placed outside, so I always thought no one stayed there. It was only until police officers came that I realised he still lived there.”
