Chilangwa’s body remains at the University Teaching Hospital Mortuary, where it is awaiting a postmortem examination to establish the exact cause of death.
His body was discovered yesterday at a flat on Plot No. 32, Roan Road in Lusaka’s Kabulonga area after police received a report of a foul smell coming from the property by a member of the public.
Police had earlier indicated that the man, believed to have been aged between 50 and 55, lived alone and was reportedly last seen about a week before his body was discovered.
The Zambia Police Service has since extended its condolences to the bereaved family.
