The statement noted that the victim, surnamed Kuan, lived alone in a flat of a residential building on Travessa dos Estaleiros.
Kuan’s wife reported to the police at 8:19 p.m. on Tuesday that when she visited Kuan that day, she found his flat’s metal gate locked, the statement said, adding that firefighters broke open the locked gate to enter the flat where they found Kuan lying on the floor of his bedroom.
Meanwhile, the Judiciary Police were notified by the Fire Services Bureau at 10:38 p.m. yesterday that a 71-year-old local man, who was found lying on the bed in his bedroom, had been dead for a long time, according to a PJ statement yesterday.
The victim, surnamed Choi, lived alone in the flat of a residential building on Estrada Marginal do Hipódromo.
The statement said that a resident of the building reported to the police on Tuesday morning a foul smell emanating from the flat, adding that as the flat’s metal gate was locked, firefighters climbed into the flat through the bedroom window, where Choi was then certified dead.
Upon examination of the two bodies, no suspicious injuries were found, the statements noted.
The statements pointed out that the exact cause of the two deaths still needed to be determined by respective forensic examinations.
