PJ finds three dead bodies, two at home

The Judiciary Police (PJ) has been called to investigate the discovery of three dead bodies in Macau in just over 24 hours, the PJ reported.
According to the reports, two bodies have been identified belonging to local residents aged 32 and 91, who were found dead at home. The third body was found floating on the Macau shoreline around the Fai Chi Kei area on Sunday evening.
The body recovered from the water appears to be that of a woman around 68 years old, though due to the lack of identifying documents on the corpse, it has not yet been identified.
Early yesterday morning, around 7 a.m., the PJ received a notification from the Emergency Department of the public hospital, stating that a 91-year-old woman has been taken to the hospital by an ambulance belonging to the Fire Services. The woman was pronounced dead after resuscitation efforts failed.
Upon investigating, the PJ found that the deceased lived with her daughter’s family and a domestic helper in a residential unit at Avenida do Ouvidor Arriaga.
Around 6:30 a.m., the son-in-law woke to the sound of falling objects coming from the deceased’s bedroom. He found her lying on the floor at the bedside panting. There was also blood on the bed.
Upon examination of the corpse, the PJ investigators found that a rubber tube connected to the upper right chest of the deceased had been cut and was leaking blood. No other suspicious injuries or marks were found.
According to the deceased’s family members, the woman suffered from a long-term illness and the tube connected to her right chest was used for dialysis.
Family members said that they suspected the deceased of using a pair of scissors to cut the tube herself.
Inspecting the unit, the PJ investigators found that the deceased’s bedroom had already been cleaned and discovered the disconnected dialysis tube in the kitchen trash can.
The PJ temporarily listed the case as the discovery of a dead body. The exact cause of death is yet to be determined by forensic examination.
In a separate case reported on Monday evening, the PJ was called to investigate the discovery of a corpse of a 32-year-old man in a residential building located at Areia Preta district.
The dead man was found lying on his bed after the building cleaning staff reported a strong odor coming from his unit.
On inspecting the corpse, the PJ did not find any obvious fractures or scars. Based on the state of decomposition of the body, it is believed that he had been dead for a couple of days.
As in the other cases, the exact cause of death will be determined by a forensic medical examination.
The PJ will continue to follow up their investigations.
