Father-of-three Graeme Hughes was discovered at the property Uist Place at around 7pm on Monday, November 4.
Tributes have been paid to the Perth man on social media.
His aunt Fiona Kaszta posted on Facebook saying: “I can’t get my head around this, fly high my boy.
“It’s like a bad dream, just can’t take it in.
“I never thought we would be laying any nephew or niece before ourself, it’s going to be very, very hard.
“He lit up a room the minute he walked in and was always the joker.
“He will be sorely missed by all family and friends.”
