Lam lived along in a one-storey wooden house.
Reports are that he was last seen alive on Friday, April 29th by neighbours.
According to the police, enquiries revealed that Lam’s cousin visited his residence and called out for him several times but got no answer.
“A foul smell was emanating from the house. The police were summoned, and they found the body of the deceased lying on his back facing up,” the police said.
