Skeleton of man found in Potong Pasir flat: Unit put up for sale, attracts buyers - Levin - 24-12-2021
Belmont Lay | December 24, 2021, 03:18 AM
An HDB flat in Potong Pasir became the final resting place for one person who died alone at home without anyone knowing about it for several years.
This was until the remains of the elderly man in his 60s were discovered in the unit completely decomposed, with only a skeleton left behind.
The macabre discovery was made in July 2020, after the resident failed to respond to dengue checks carried out by the National Environment Agency officers, who then executed a forced entry onto the premises.
After more than a year since the man's remains were found, the flat has been put up for sale, with one potential buyer expressing keen interest in acquiring the public housing unit
......
Wanbao previously reported that all the calendars in the flat were showing June 2011.
This indicated that the deceased man had been dead and undiscovered in the flat for nine years by the time he was found in July 2020.
The man was born in 1948, and would have been around 63 years old when he died.
......
News of the flat's availability has attracted potential buyers.
The deceased man's elder brother was reported as saying that multiple prospective buyers want to view the unit located on a high floor.
The 80-year-old retiree told Wanbao that he has engaged a property agent and is currently overseeing the sale of the flat, which will likely be sold at market prices.

You had given good reasons why the Skelton was not discovered earlier, there are too many mitigating factors to oversee this situation....

The elder bro profited from the sale of the flat. I am curious why the elder one didnt contact or reach out to his younger bro during this 9 years?

Potential buyers will not want to buy this unit, cos they don't know what are the circumstances that led to his/her death...

The answer to why there is no smell may be that. It has been said that devout Buddhists who passed away actually have fragrance instead. Many anecdotes to that.

Not scientifically proven. Decay sure got smell because of bacteria.
