Speaking to the Chinese news site, a neighbour said she hasn’t seen the deceased interacting with others and believes he’s the sole occupant of the flat.
She last spotted him around a week ago.
Another neighbour said that he found a locksmith unlocking the deceased’s unit door at about 8pm on Wednesday (22 Nov).
It was only later that he learnt the 61-year-old man had passed away.
Based on preliminary investigations, the police have ruled out the possibility of foul play. Investigations are ongoing.
