Pensioner found dead in Norton St home

The decomposed body of a man, suspected to be 71-year-old Albert Callender, was on Sunday discovered at his Norton Street, Wortmanville, Georgetown home, after a pungent smell emanated from the dwelling place.
Callendar resided at Lot 33 Norton Street, Wortmanville.
Police from the Alberttown Station visited the home at about 16:00h after receiving a call from a neighbour, who resides in the upper flat of the building.
The neighbour reported that she last saw Callendar alive on April 19 and he did not make any complaints to her of feeling unwell. However, she did not see him again but observed his apartment door locked.
On April 22, a pungent smell started coming from the pensioner’s apartment, and as such the woman contacted the Police.
Ranks from the Alberttown Fire Service opened the door to the apartment and the body of the deceased 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.
Investigations are continuing. (G12)
