\nA 56-year-old man was found dead inside his Toa Payoh HDB flat after a neighbour noticed something unusual.<\/p>\n

The neighbour reportedly realised that the man’s lights had been switched off for two days. He also detected a foul smell coming from the unit and asked a passer-by to call the police.<\/p>\n

Police arrived at Block 52 Lorong Toa Payoh at around 9.50am on Nov 11 and found the man motionless inside his flat. He was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n

The man reportedly lived alone and kept largely to himself. A neighbour said he had previously lived with his mother and younger brother, but his brother moved out after their mother passed away.<\/p>\n

Police do not suspect foul play.<\/p>\n
