LIM Eee Jin, 80, was found lying face down in the living room of his 1,200sq ft flat in Tong Soon Mansion, Jalan Berhala in Brickfields on Dec 24, 2021.

The retired accountant was a recluse, without friends or known relatives and barely spoke to anyone. His death was only noticed when neighbours complained of a stench emanating from his unit.
