A 66-year-old man's body was found decomposing in a cluttered Singapore flat after neighbors complained about a foul odor and insects.
When residents spotted ants and cockroaches crawling in their kitchen and noticed a foul stench coming from a neighbor’s flat, they alerted the police. On Jan 5, the decomposing body of a 66-year-old man was discovered in a second-storey flat at 4 Boon Keng Road. Shin Min Daily News reported that the flat was filled with clutter that left very little room to move. Food containers with leftover scraps were among the trash filling the flat.
Mr Chen, 42, lives in the unit directly above the deceased's flat.'At first, we thought it was coming from the garbage chute but we later realised the ants were coming from the unit below. The smell was particularly strong on rainy days.' Mr Chen added that while he and his wife often exchanged greetings with other neighbors, they had never seen anyone from the unit below theirs.“He had lived here for many years and usually kept to himself. Occasionally, we would exchange greetings but he wasn’t very talkative,” she said.The police confirmed the body of a 66-year-old man was found in the flat
