In a quiet corner of an HDB building at Block 92 Henderson Road, a 64-year-old man who lived alone in the flat was found dead on 7 October, according to reports by Shin Min Daily News.
A Life That Seemed Ordinary
The 64-year-old man, who remained unnamed in the reports, resided alone on the third floor of Block 92 Henderson Road.
A neighbour of the deceased told SMDN that the man had been seen on the evening of October 6, just a day before his lifeless body was discovered.
The neighbour, who interacted with the man regularly, stated that he appeared perfectly normal on that fateful evening.
She recounted how he didn’t appear to be having any problems the last time she saw him when he looked like he was heading out to buy some food.
The Enigmatic Shouts
Despite the seemingly ordinary façade, the neighbour did point out a peculiar occurrence that had become more frequent over the past few months.
She mentioned that she could often hear the elderly man shouting from within his flat. The reasons behind these outbursts remained unknown.
The question of what troubled him to the extent of raising his voice within the confines of his home remained unanswered.
The elderly man was found dead in his home on October 7 when the neighbour made a grim discovery. As she passed by the man’s unit after the arrival of the police, she witnessed a chilling sight.
The elderly man lay lifeless on the floor, unclothed.
No foul play
According to the police’s preliminary investigations, they do not suspect any foul play in the 64-year-old’s death.
The police said that the deceased was pronounced dead at the scene and the case has been classified as an unnatural death.
At the time of writing, police investigations are underway.
