They tragically discovered a dead body in Plowman Tower on Westlands Drive in Headington, Oxford.
Concerns were raised by neighbours after complaints of a strong smell coming from a flat.
One local said: “The smell was horrific.”
Cops said they found a deceased woman in her 80s inside.
Thames Valley Police have since arrested a 68-year-old woman from Oxford on suspicion of manslaughter and causing or allowing the death of a child/vulnerable adult.
She remains in custody, after also being arrested on suspicion of preventing a lawful and decent burial of a dead body.
Speaking to the Oxford Mail, Levi Smith – who was performing tree maintenance opposite the building – said there were three people wearing hazmat suits inside the block.
Plowman Tower was one of the first tower blocks to be built in Oxfordshire.
It used to mainly be social housing but many of the flats are now privately owned.
Each block has 85 flats split over 15 floors.
There are six flats per floor on the upper levels, and one flat and residents stores on the ground floor.
