The body of an 81-year-old woman was found in a Yishun flat on Tuesday (Nov 10) after a stench emanating from the unit prompted a neighbour to call for help.<\/p>\n
The police told AsiaOne it received a call for assistance at Block 343 Yishun Avenue 11 at about 4.50pm on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The elderly woman was found lying motionless and pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n
Long-time neighbour Sonia, 55, told Shin Min Daily News that she had noticed a lingering smell for days, which grew stronger on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n
Unable to bear the odour, she had to wear a mask. Sonia subsequently asked her husband to report the incident.<\/p>\n
Prior to the smell, the resident said she also noticed the deceased’s front door had remained shut since Nov 6, which was out of the ordinary.<\/p>\n
While the windows remained opened, the house was unusually quiet.<\/p>\n
Sonia added that she thought the senior was away on a holiday.<\/p>\n
Her husband, surnamed Wu, told Shin Min Daily News that the woman was known as Brenda.<\/p>\n
Wu, 66, said Brenda was a teacher and home tutor before retirement.<\/p>\n
She had lived alone for years after her husband died, and her two sons moved out.<\/p>\n
“Her grandchild occasionally visited her. An elderly man, who was probably her brother, who would sometimes deliver food,” Wu said.<\/p>\n
The police said preliminary investigations do not suggest foul play.<\/p>\n
Police investigations are ongoing.<\/p>\n
