Tragic Discovery in Johor: Decomposed Body of Teacher Found After Foul Odour Alert
Johor Bahru, June 16 – A sombre discovery has shaken the Bandar Selesa Jaya community in Iskandar Puteri, Johor, as the decomposed body of a woman believed to be a schoolteacher was found in her home. The unsettling find was triggered by a persistent foul odour emanating from the property, prompting concerned neighbours to alert the authorities.
Police were called to the scene earlier today and confirmed the body's identity as a woman presumed to be a teacher. Preliminary investigations suggest she may have been deceased for approximately a month. The state of decomposition indicates a significant passage of time since her passing.
Neighbours' Concerns & Investigation Details
According to local residents, the foul smell had been growing progressively stronger over the past few weeks. Initially, they dismissed it as a minor issue, but the persistent odour eventually became unbearable, leading them to suspect something was amiss. "We noticed a strange smell a few weeks ago, but we didn't think much of it at first. It got worse over time, and we started to worry," shared a neighbour who wished to remain anonymous. The neighbours then reported their concerns to the local authorities, leading to the distressing discovery.
Johor Bahru police are currently conducting a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the woman’s death. They are working to determine the cause of death and gather information about her final days. A forensic team has been deployed to the scene to collect evidence and assist with the investigation. Police have not yet released any further details regarding the identity of the deceased, pending notification of next of kin.

The area has been cordoned off as police continue their investigations.
