Nollywood veteran actor, Victor Decker, was found dead in his apartment on Monday by his neighbours .
It was gathered that Decker’s neighbours broke down the door to his apartment before they found his lifeless and decomposing corpse in his sitting room.
Decker was 72years old, but the cause of his death remains unknown.
Jesse Nazareth, who is the Mayor of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Abuja, confirmed the incident.
He said, “Yes, Victor Decker is dead. I am in the mortuary where they want to embalm him. I am not aware of the cause of his death. I just got a call that his neighbours did not see him for days; so they got concerned.
“They went to his house, knocked on his door but got no response; so they had to break down the door. That was when they saw him sitting on his chair lifeless.
“He was already smelling as he was decomposing. I rushed down there to arrange the necessary things.”
She added that several hospitals rejected the body of the late actor because it was already decomposing.
“I had to obtain a police report and cars to convey him to a hospital. I took him to several hospitals but they rejected him because his body was already decomposing. At about 3 am this morning, we were referred to a private hospital in Bwari, Abuja, where they accepted his body. This morning, they are embalming his body but they need to first reduce its size as he has swollen,” she said.
Decker featured in movies such as Double Strings, If I am President and Lotanna.
