A 73-year-old man was discovered dead in a HDB flat after he failed to show up at work for two days.<\/p>\n
His employer visited his home at Block 994A Buangkok Link on Saturday (June 20) evening, and subsequently called the police, reported Shin Min Daily News.<\/p>\n
The police told AsiaOne they received a call for assistance at about 7.45pm, and the man was found lying motionless in a unit and pronounced dead.<\/p>\n
The police do not suspect foul play based on preliminary investigations.<\/p>\n
A female neighbour who spoke to the Chinese publication said the man lived alone.<\/p>\n
The woman, who declined to be named, said a man and a woman had come knocking on her door at about 5pm on Saturday to seek information on the senior citizen.<\/p>\n
“The man said the elderly man is his employee, who had not gone to work for two consecutive days.<\/p>\n
“He also said that the elderly man would call his mother daily, but he hadn’t contacted her for the past two days.”<\/p>\n
She described the <\/strong>dead man as a quiet person, <\/strong>adding that they had not interacted much.<\/p>\n Despite the man having his windows open, there was no stench until the police unlocked the flat’s front door, the neighbour said.<\/p>\n “Thinking back, I realised that the man had kept his front door shut the past few days, and his lights were switched on even in the daytime,” she added.<\/p>\n Police investigations are ongoing.<\/p>\n [[nid:738273]]<\/p>\n lim.kewei@asiaone.com<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A 73-year-old man was discovered dead in a HDB flat after he failed to show up at work for two days.
