Woman, 57, found dead in Ang Mo Kio flat after neighbours noticed flies & smell
She was reportedly living alone.
A 57-year-old woman was discovered deceased in her Ang Mo Kio residence after her neighbors observed an abundance of flies and a foul odor emanating from her flat. The Singapore Police Force (SPF) disclosed that they were alerted to the incident around 10:50am at Block 464 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10. Upon arriving at the scene, the police confirmed that the woman had been found lifeless in a residential unit. Preliminary investigations suggest that the police do not suspect foul play and are continuing their inquiries.
A neighbor, Zhuo (transliteration), shared with Shin Min Daily News that his family had noticed a strong odor emanating from the flat for two to three days prior to the incident. He attributed the smell to a deceased rat. On September 23, Zhuo's 80-year-old mother noticed the unit's door ajar when she went for a morning exercise.
Upon entering the flat, she observed a strong smell and noticed flies buzzing around. Concerned, she alerted the police. The odor proved so potent that air fresheners were unable to mitigate it. Zhuo also revealed that the deceased had been living with her parents prior to their passing, after which she had been residing alone.
Notably, this is the second death at Ang Mo Kio within a three-day period. On September 21, a 72-year-old man was found unresponsive in a residential unit at Block 530 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10 and was pronounced deceased at the scene. The police responded to an alert regarding an unnatural death at the location on the same day. The elderly man was reportedly living alone and was discovered after neighbors noticed blood seeping from under the main gate into the common walkway.
