A middle-aged man was found hanging yesterday in what neighbours believed was the fifth suspected suicide in as many weeks.
Police said they were investigating the “unnatural death” of 56-year-old Selwyn Sobers whose body was found in the bedroom of his Passage Road, St Michael home by a neighbour at about 10 a.m.
A foul odour alerted the neighbour, Christopher Alexis, that something “ain’t right”.
He said he went to the house to deliver rent money to Sobers on behalf of a shop tenant next door, when he was greeted by flies and a stench.
“This odour was too strong, something had to be wrong,” Alexis said. “Plus he was a man who always had his radio on and I ain’t hear the radio. I pounded on the door and I ain’t hear no response,” he said.
