Residents in Bedok North had called the police due to a pungent rotting smell coming from their neighbour’s unit.
However, mountains of rubbish had to be carted out of the flat before the police were able to retrieve a decomposing body within it.
On Saturday (Sept 28) night, the body of an elderly man was found in a 12th storey unit at Blk 519, Bedok North Avenue 1. Paramedics pronounced him dead on the spot.
According to Lianhe Wanbao, the flat had piles of rubbish that reached the ceiling and gave off a vile and putrid smell.
After prying the doors open, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) and the police had to wait for cleaners to clear the rubbish before they could reach the body.
The 68-year-old occupant was believed to have died in the kitchen.
