Body in tank:Bottled water for Al Khail Gate people
Sajila Saseendran / 8 November 2013
The partially decomposed body of a Sri Lankan cook, who apparently committed suicide, was found on Tuesday night.
The Dubai Properties Group on Thursday said it was following instructions from authorities to ensure the health and safety of residents in a building in Al Khail Gate community where a decomposed body was found in a rooftop water tank.

His body was recovered two days after the residents in building 1-24 in Al Khail Gate Phase 2 complained of foul smell in the tap water.
The Dubai Police on Wednesday told Khaleej Times the man's friends had filed a complaint after he went missing a week ago. Apparently, he was heavily drunk when they met him the last time in his friends' flat in the building.
Residents said the water supply in the building was shut after the incident and the community's facilities management company has started supplying mineral water bottles to them for cooking and drinking.
Taziz Property Management sent them a mail on Wednesday advising them not to use the tap water for any purpose, whatsoever, until further notice. "Furthermore, we have assigned units in building number 28 in phase 1 for your basic sanitary use. We hope to rectify the issue at the earliest," said the mail. On Thursday, residents received yet another mail from the company saying that it would arrange a shuttle bus service between their building and building No. 28 in Phase 1 for them.
