Days af­ter he was last seen, a 56-year-old man was found dead at his Cu­mu­to home on Fri­day.

Po­lice are in­ves­ti­gat­ing the cir­cum­stances which led to the death of Roland For­tune af­ter the chill­ing dis­cov­ery was made just be­fore 10 am. For­tune’s body ap­peared to have mul­ti­ple stab wounds.

Po­lice were called to a board struc­ture off Cu­mu­to Main Road on Fri­day, where they found his body. He was ly­ing on his back on a bed, and his body was in an ad­vanced state of de­com­po­si­tion. For­tune was wear­ing long blue-coloured pants, bare­back and a pair of green socks, in­ves­ti­ga­tors said.

For­tune had last been seen out and about on Tues­day. As days passed with no sign of For­tune, a res­i­dent de­cid­ed to check on him Fri­day.

An au­top­sy to de­ter­mine the cause of death has been sched­uled for Tues­day at the Foren­sic Sci­ence Cen­tre.
