When he didn't receive morning greetings from his father for three consecutive days, one man got worried.
He was about to check on his father when he got a phone call from the police.
The 62-year-old was found dead in his home at Block 499C Tampines Avenue 9 by a friend on Sunday (Nov 24) morning, Shin Min Daily News reported.
The elderly man, a stroke survivor, had left his door unlocked so that others could check on him with ease.
That morning, the friend arrived at the flat to find that the man had died in his sleep, immediately calling the police after discovering the body.
The police then contacted the deceased's son, who rushed to the scene.
According to a cabby who alerted Shin Min to the incident, several police cars and ambulances were seen around the ground floor of the HDB block.
After speaking with residents in the area, the cabby learned that someone had died.
