An elderly man was found deceased on the 10th floor of a flat in Block 174C Hougang Ave 1 around noon on Tuesday (May 26).<\/p>\n
According to a report by Shin Min Daily News, a blind resident surnamed Lin had noticed a foul odour two days prior, which only grew stronger.<\/p>\n
After other neighbours on the same floor came to enquire on the matter, 75-year-old Lin sensed something was wrong and called the police on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n
In response to AsiaOne’s queries, the police stated that a 69-year-old was found motionless and pronounced dead on the scene. Based on preliminary investigations, no foul play is suspected, but police investigations are ongoing.<\/p>\n
Lin told the Chinese daily that the deceased resident had recently moved into the rental apartment and was living alone, while another neighbour surnamed Su said that the man had a son with special needs who occasionally came to visit.<\/p>\n
Su added that the last time she saw the deceased alive was five days ago.<\/p>\n
According to Lin, this was the second case of a body being discovered in their block in the span of a few days.<\/p>\n
He shared that another decomposing body was found directly below on the ninth floor the previous Saturday.<\/p>\n
According to the police, they received a report at around 10.15am on May 23, and found a man aged 70 motionless at the flat, pronouncing him dead at the scene.<\/p>\n
No foul play is suspected in this incident either, but investigations are ongoing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
