Decomposed bodies of father, son found at Bayshore condo

Singapore police is seeking US assistance in probing the mysterious death of an American scientist reportedly involved in a project for a Chinese telecoms firm seen as a security risk by Washington

Emergency responders attending to a call at the Bayshore condominium on East Coast on Wednesday morning broke into a unit only to be greeted by a grisly, unsettling sight: that of two decomposed male bodies on the sofa in the living room.

The bodies were that of a 61-year-old and 40-year old man, believed to be father and son, according to local reports.

Police said they responded to a call from the condo's management at 11:32am, after neighbours complained of a foul smell emanating from the unit.

SCDF also said they were alerted around the same time, and had to force their way into the unit.
