Initially, a resident notified the security guard of a foul smell on the fourth floor, so he went to investigate but discovered no rats. The stink came from the deceased’s room, so he tried to enter and look into it, but it was locked. He then asked for a spare key to open it and discovered the Dutchman’s body. He abruptly called officials to investigate.
