Details
In the Spanish city of Valencia, the body of a seventy-year-old man was found, who may have been dead in his apartment for fifteen years. According to media reports, emergency services and police were called to the scene to eliminate the consequences of storm "Alicia", which brought heavy rains, floods and landslides to this area of Spain.
It was necessary to eliminate a water leak in an apartment building in the La Fuensanta district of Valencia. Specifically, to save the terrace of an apartment on the sixth floor. It was in the apartment on the 6th floor that Spanish rescuers found a mummified body, which was in bed and had almost turned into a skeleton.
Around the corpse was a huge pile of garbage, including dead pigeons and insects
Who is this mysterious man, how did the deceased's neighbors react?
According to the preliminary investigation, the deceased was a man named Antonio.
Currently, it is indicated that he died around 2010, probably at the age of 70 or 71. He was described as withdrawn and lonely.
Neighbors in the building and on the floor were shocked by the discovery. People did not expect at all that they had lived under the same roof with the deceased for 15 years. Surprisingly, they had not seen him for a long time and confidently assumed that Antonio had moved to a nursing home.
At the same time, bills continued to be paid for many years, and the mailbox was always well-maintained.
Recall
UNN reported that the 2024 flood in Spain is one of the largest in Europe in 50 years.
