Taiwan man, 60, found dead on bus, had allegedly been there for 3 days
The man was reportedly found curled up on the floor of the bus on the morning of Sep. 27.
A 60-year-old Taiwanese man, Gao, was discovered deceased on a bus on September 27, having been there for several days prior to his discovery, according to Sin Chew Daily. The man, who suffered from Alzheimer's, was found by a passenger and later confirmed to be in a state of rigor mortis, indicating he had been dead for a few days, reported udn.com.
Surveillance footage showed Gao boarding the bus around 8:40pm on September 24, according to the report. The bus returned to its final stop at approximately 10:30pm on the same day. The bus driver, a 27-year-old, had gone on leave for two days before his shift on September 27, but failed to check the vehicle before departing, as reported by local police.
Gao's family lived in mainland China, while he resided with his father. An autopsy was conducted to determine the exact cause of death, though homicide was initially ruled out, as reported by udn.com. Police are reviewing surveillance footage to investigate how Gao entered the vehicle, his time of death, and whether he boarded the wrong bus, among other factors, as reported by Sing Tao Headlines.
