Burchel Ford, 79, of 175 West Ruimveldt was discovered dead sitting in a chair around 17:30hrs. His body was swollen beyond recognition in his home yesterday.
According to his daughter, he was last seen alive on Saturday. She said that he had been using medications for his heart condition.
According to some residents of the area, the man’s son had visited him on Saturday. One resident was of the opinion that since the deceased had left all his valuables for one of his children and nothing much for the other, there seems to be a possibility of foul play.
However, some say it appears that the man died of natural causes.
