The police also told the publication that investigations are ongoing and the death has been classified as unnatural. Mr Zeng was 66-years-old when he passed away.

This was how Mr Zeng looked before he had the surgery to remove his nose. He was previously a businessman, politician – he was part of the Workers’ Party in 1991 – and acupuncturist.

He had earned the name ‘Parrot Man’ in 2008 when he blamed his pet parrot for getting him arrested and used offensive language against 2 police officers. This coupled with his eccentric personality earned him the nickname.

In 2014, he was diagnosed with nose cancer, whereupon he underwent surgery to remove his nose.
