While cleaning the road along the Central Expressway (CTE) on Sunday morning (March 20), a cleaner stumbled upon a dead body in the bushes. 

The body was found near Block 472 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10.

It is believed that the deceased man, 83, had lived alone in one of the nearby Housing Board flats. 

Aside from the police cars parked along the expressway, there were two police cars parked below the HDB blocks nearby, said Shin Min Daily News.
