After an elderly woman living alone was not seen outside her condo unit for months and letters began to pile up outside her door, condo management was notified.
But his fate was only discovered more than a year later, on Monday, when police officers entered his apartment and found his remains.
The woman, believed to be Mrs. Lily Loh and in her 80s, lived at The Shore Residences, a condo on Amber Road near the Katong Mall.
Another resident, who did not want to be identified, told The Straits Times yesterday that Madam Loh lived alone and only had one dog for company.
He did not appear to have relatives or visitors, the resident added.
After returning from a trip abroad in January last year, the resident stopped seeing Madam Loh at the condo.
Later, mail began piling up in front of Madame Loh’s door, including court documents that appeared to have implicated her and the condo management. Management was notified of Madame Loh’s disappearance, but apparently nothing was done, the resident said.
It was not until the end of October this year that his missing status was passed on to Mr. Lim Biow Chuan, who is a deputy for Mountbatten. Notified the police.
ST understands that police officers went to the door of the unit earlier this month, but entered the apartment only on Monday, along with the condo management staff, who called them that day.
In response to ST’s inquiries, the condo management said, “As we had some concerns regarding one of the residents who lived at The Shore earlier this week, we immediately alerted the police.”
He did not elaborate when asked why he had not acted earlier. – THE TIMES OF THE STRAIT
