The decomposed body of a man suspected to be Albert Callender, a pensioner of Lot 33 Norton Street, Wortmanville, was discovered in his home on Sunday.
Police from the Albertown Station visited the home of the 71-year-old at about 16:00hrs yesterday after receiving a call from the Callendar’s neighbour who resides in the upper flat of the building. The neighbour claimed that she last saw Callendar alive on April 19, 2023.
On April 22 she started to get a pungent smell coming from the Callendar’s apartment, and as such, decided to call the police.
Ranks from the Albertown Fire Service opened the door to the apartment and the body was observed lying face-up on a bed, in a partially decomposed state.
The body was escorted to Memorial Gardens Funeral Home awaiting a post-mortem. No foul play was suspected.
