The body of a 67-year-old man was found in a flat in MacPherson on Tuesday (Jul. 2), four days after he was last seen alive.

Police confirmed that they were alerted to the case of unnatural death at about 1:55pm.

The man was found lying motionless in the flat and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Last seen four days ago leaving the house

A Shin Min Daily News (Shin Min) reporter who visited the flat on Jul. 2, said a domestic helper living on the same floor shared that the deceased was a kind and friendly man who would greet neighbours and share extra bread and fruit with them.

"If it were going to rain, he would sometimes remind me to bring in the laundry or chillies I was drying in the sun," she said.

Police do not suspect foul play

In response to Mothership's enquiries, the police said they do not suspect foul play.

Police investigations are ongoing.
