Police believe a dead body may have been lying in a bed for 20 years inside a home. The Irish Mirror reports that council workers discovered the skeleton inside a boarded up house.
Shocked officers found remains in a bed in the house in County Cork in Ireland last week. The authorities also found on January 13 that butter in the fridge of the property dated back to 2001.
Emergency services at the scene cordoned off the area around the one-storey home, while and fire service staff removed the remains to a morgue. The police do not currently suspect foul play in the death of the man, as Assistant State Pathologist Dr Margaret Bolster was last night due to carry out a post-mortem.
It is reported that neighbours thought the man, who was described as reclusive, had moved to England. Mallow Cllr Liam Madden says it was “extraordinary” that the body could have been there undiscovered for two decades.
He added: “I find it hard to imagine. But it has happened before in other towns and villages where someone has been found. If they are local, it’s a very sad reflection that someone didn’t miss this person and say where would that person be.
"The big thing is identification now, it is going to take a long time. In some of these places that are boarded up, people have gone in there to sleep... it could be anyone. “It’s very sad that there’s some family out there that could be looking for this person.”
Investigators are hoping that dental records will confirm the identity of the person. Officers were carrying out door to door inquiries and plan to check with utility providers to pinpoint the timing of the death.
