THE DECOMPOSING body of a 76-year-old Caucasian male was found on Thanksgiving, according to the Department of Public Safety.
Assistant Chief of Police Simon Manacop said the discovery of the body was reported at 10 a.m. on Nov. 28 at Zen Homes in Gualo Rai.
“The deceased was last seen alive four days before being reported,” Manacop added. “The incident was reported by an apartment staff after smelling foul odor emitting from the room. Right now, we’re unable to determine exactly how many days he has been deceased except for being seen four days prior to being reported. No foul play has been established,” Manacop said.
He said they are withholding the name of the deceased pending notification of next of kin.
