S'porean man, 72, living alone passes away at home, neighbours see blood seeping out into corridor
He had been living alone for the past 5 years.
A 72-year-old man residing alone in an Ang Mo Kio HDB flat in Singapore passed away at home. His body was discovered after neighbors observed blood seeping from under the main gate into the shared walkway. The elderly gentleman was found unresponsive and was pronounced dead at the scene by an SCDF paramedic. A neighbor, who wished to remain anonymous, informed Shin Min Daily News that his mother had last seen the old man on September 17, 2026.
The neighbor's family noticed something was amiss when they found the house dark on the evening of September 18, 2026. No sign of the man was seen over the weekend. It was only on the afternoon of September 21, 2026, that they noticed a foul smell and saw blood pooling underneath the gate. A police report was filed promptly.
The neighbor also revealed to Shin Min that the man was struggling with mental health issues, and social workers regularly visited him for check-ups. He had been living alone for approximately five years, following the departure of his family members. The police, upon receiving inquiries from Mothership, confirmed they were notified of an unnatural death at Block 530 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10 on September 21, 2026.
A 72-year-old man was discovered lying motionless in a residential unit and was pronounced dead at the scene. Preliminary investigations by the police suggest no foul play is involved, and the ongoing police investigations are currently underway.
