Retirement apartments are set up to provide a safe and comfortable living environment for the elderly. However, in a senior living apartment, a terrible incident occurred, an 85-year-old man passed away in the apartment, and someone heard a strange noise coming from the room earlier in the day. The truth of the whole incident is chilling.
According to the apartment manager, the old man's name is Mr. Li and he is a permanent resident of the apartment. He lives in a single room on the second floor. He is described as a very independent and strong man, who does not usually interact with the other residents, and simply lives his life quietly.
That morning, a young man entered Mr. Li's room. According to the police investigation, the man was a distant relative of Mr. Li, but his actions aroused the suspicion of others. A neighbor claimed to have heard knocking and a messy movement, but when she went to Mr. Lee's room, everything was calm and the door was closed.
A few hours later, another neighbor noticed that Mr. Li was not showing up at the apartment's event and reported it to management. After emergency treatment, the staff opened Mr. Li's room and found that he had passed away. Despite the presence of surveillance cameras in the apartment, the police believe it was a case of natural death as nothing unusual was found.
However, the police's preliminary conclusions did not calm the suspicions of the neighbors. Several neighbors insisted that strange noises were heard in the enclosed room, which made the police revisit the whole incident.
After an in-depth investigation, the police discovered that there was a secret storage room inside the room. This pantry is located at the back of the closet and is barely noticeable to the average person. When the police opened the storage room, they found a horrific scene - a young man was trapped inside, and the cause of death was actually suffocation!
After further investigation, the police found that the man was the same relative who had entered Mr. Li's room that day. It turned out that he wanted to surprise Mr. Li on his birthday, so he hid in the storage room, intending to surprise Mr. Li when he entered the room. But unfortunately, he accidentally got locked inside by the door of the storage room and was unable to free himself. Eventually, he died of lack of oxygen.
The tragic incident not only shocked and saddened the residents, but also reminded people to think more about safety before moving. As a residence for the elderly, pension apartments should provide better safety facilities to avoid similar tragic incidents from happening again.
Finally, the police reminded everyone to ensure their own safety and physical condition before friends and relatives enter their homes. At the same time, the management of senior housing should also strengthen the safety management of residents to ensure the safety and comfort of each resident.
