The deceased has been identified as Sanjay Pillai, who worked for an online media firm in Noida, police said today.
The incident came to light when his neighbours complained of foul smell emanating from his house at Pocket-4 of Mayur Vihar Phase 3 and informed police around 10 pm.
A police team reached the spot and found the highly decomposed body in the bathroom, a police offcer said.
Pillai's neighbours told police that he had moved in the locality two months ago. There was little interaction between him and people as he was rumoured to be suffering from HIV/AIDS.
The body has been shifted to Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital and police is waiting for his mother to arrive after which post mortem will be done to reveal the exact cause of the death, he said, adding, further investigation is on.
