A woman was found dead in her Ang Mo Kio HDB flat after her neighbour noticed a foul smell and flies outside her unit.

In response to AsiaOne's queries, the police said that they received a call for assistance at Block 464 Ang Mo Kio Avenue at around 10.50am on Tuesday (Sept 22).

A 57-year-old woman was found lying motionless in a residential unit and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Zhuo (transliterated), a resident at the estate, told Chinese publication Lianhe Zaobao that the woman had been living alone in a 3-bedroom unit for over 10 years, and that the last time he saw her was about a week ago.

Zhuo and his family noticed a strong smell wafting towards his unit around two to three days ago, and initially believed it to be a dead rat.

Police investigations are ongoing, but the police do not suspect foul play based on preliminary investigations.
