Decomposed body of pensioner found in Linden home

The decomposed body of a pensioner was on Sunday morning found in his Linden, Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Berbice) home.
The dead man has been identified as 73-year-old Edwin Tudor of Burjack, Wismar, Linden. The discovery was made sometime around 06:30h.
According to the Police, Tudor lived alone and his sister, who lives at Block 22 Wismar, said she last saw him on Wednesday at about 16:00h. He had complained of feeling unwell.
She then checked his pressure and observed that it was very high. As a result, she told Tudor to take some rest but claimed that he felt better after some time. As such, he left for his home.
A neighbour who normally calls out to the elderly man whenever she passes his house told the Police that on the said day, she walked past his home several times and his radio was on but she did not see him.
She stated that around 06:30h on Sunday, she decided to call out to the man after not seeing him for a few days but did not get a response.
Believing something was amiss, she was prompted to go onto his premises, where she was greeted by a foul stench. Upon looking inside the house, she observed the man lying on his bed in a motionless and decomposed state.
She immediately contacted his family members.
The body was examined but due to the state of decomposition, no marks of violence were seen. The dead man’s home was also searched and nothing appeared to be disturbed.
Tudor’s body was escorted the Pensioner’s Mortuary awaiting a post-mortem examination.
Investigations are ongoing.
