A 52-year-old man was found dead in his Toa Payoh residential unit last Sunday.The body of a 52-year-old man was discovered in his Toa Payoh flat last Sunday , several days after his death.
The police told AsiaOne they were alerted to the case at 11.15am on Sunday, where they pronounced the man dead at the scene. It is not known when he died. The man, Bai Zongren , had been living alone in his unit at Block 157 Toa Payoh Lorong 1 for several years after divorcing his wife, according to a neighbour who spoke to Shin Min Daily News.The neighbour, who did not want to be named, added that Bai would occasionally get visits from relatives.The neighbour told Shin Min that she was unaware of Bai's death when she passed by his unit several days ago. As Bai's door was locked, she assumed the flat was empty.
When she passed by his unit again on Saturday, she detected a foul smell but thought that it was from wastewater."He was a very friendly person. He would always greet me whenever he saw me," said the neighbour. Three family members were also at the scene on Sunday, with one of them believed to be his daughter, according to Shin Min.Speaking to AsiaOne, the police do not suspect any foul play from preliminary investigations.
