The deceased has been identified as 32-year-old O’Neil Richards, of Bellaire Meadows in Discovery Bay, St Ann.
Reports indicate that around 8:15 am on Saturday, Richards was not seen in his yard as usual, which raised concerns among residents after they noticed a foul odor emanating from his house.

The body, which was in a state of decomposition, was removed and transported to the hospital for a post-mortem examination.
