Nobody Turns Into Someone And Some Body

Workers responding to neighbors' complaints of a bad smell coming from an apartment in western England discovered a body that lay decomposing on a couch for years while another resident lived there. According to reports, neighbors of the Bristol, England apartment had been complaining for years about the stench when cleaning workers finally found the body. A neighbor said he assumed the tenant suffered from poor hygiene and even offered him air fresheners. Officials said the body was thought to have been in the apartment for at least eight years.

Police arrested the apartment's tenant after the body was found, but concluded the death was not suspicious. The occupant, also in his 70s, apparently failed to report the death because he suffers from mental health problems.
