'Strong foul smell' at HDB block
When Shin Min reporters arrived at the scene in the afternoon, they saw three police vehicles parked on the ground floor of the Housing and Development Board (HDB) block.
It was reported that it had likely been a few days before someone noticed the man's death, as there was "a strong foul smell" at the void deck.
Police officers were seen at the deceased's unit, which had been cordoned off.
Three female family members of the deceased were also present at the scene.
A woman, believed to be the man's daughter, was seen weeping.
At around 3:30pm, the man's body was carried into a black police vehicle.
