News of Mr Cue’s death has shocked neighbours, who last saw him on Monday watering his plants, a daily ritual that he enjoyed.
He had lived at the unit complex for more than three decades and was described as ‘a good guy’.
‘He liked to stop for a chat, just see how people are going,’ one neighbour told reporters.
‘We weren’t expecting something like this to happen so close to home, literally.
‘It’s not a great feeling to know something terrible has happened to someone you’ve interacted with.’
