3 Days Dead

Quite a while ago my mum mentioned to me that one day as she was leaving for work in the morning she saw a girl (in her twenty's) sitting on the curb across the street from us and was crying. An elderly (parents age) woman was comforting her and one of the neighbours (Carolyn) went over to see if they needed help and also because she was a nurse.

Today my parents went to a Pizza Fairwell party organised by one of the neighbours on our street. Mum came home much after Dad did, even after I returned home from church. She found out more to the story I mentioned earlier. The incident she encountered weeks/months before links to the story like this.

The girl was crying because she must have found out that a person had been dead in the house across the street for three days. He (she?) was locked inside the room where he was found.

A locksmith had to be called to unlock the locks which were some kind of special lock (even more suspicious to have locks on room doors). Carolyn found out that there was a deceased person from the locksmith and he was quite wary when mentioning this fact.

Incidents such as the ambulance, police, detectives arriving at the house across the street occured.

The above was seen by the neighbour Carolyn.

Mum said that she did remember seeing an elderly Chinese looking couple coming a few days/weeks(?) later to clear things out from the house. There was also a large rubbish bin to dispose of things (such as a bed?).


How does this effect me?

To my understanding the person that lived across the road was a Chinese looking guy called Tom. I only knew that because early this year when I had to take out the license plates from the yellow Corolla to get them replaced with new ones since the car got yellow stickered, I had a lot of trouble with the tools we had at home with the rear plate. I went across the road to ask for a tool such as a large screwdriver. Anyway we introduced ourselves and that was our first encounter.

Our second encounter was when I came home one afternoon and found a few people in his front yard moving things from car/s to inside the house. I went over to chat to find out who these people were and whether they lived there as well. They informed me that the only person who lived there was Tom and no one else. Tom and I briefly exchanged conversation and I inquired what was with all the computing hardware equipment that was being moved. He mentioned that he use to run a business and if our computers needed fixing he'd be able to do it. Probono. I at the time definitely needed a computer to be fixed and still do! I was planning to call in again a week or so later but only to notice that the house seemed unoccupied or more like there was no sign of life inside.

We have no facts on who exactly is the dead person, but can only speculate as to who they were.


Other opinions to add suspicion.

Mum also mentioned that the roller shutter the house has is only install on the front windows and not the side. Usually roller shutters are installed in all windows. Perhaps to just hide from the street what was really going on inside?

Chinese version of the Mafia?

Overdose?

However all this is speculation and we must respect that it may have just been a case of something "normal".


My feelings:
A bit creeped out because it is so close to home.
Feel a bit odd that I had met this Tom guy however cannot conclude whether it was him.

My immediate thoughts in order:
Was it suicide?
Murder? (inside a locked room, hence staged)
Natural death?...
