The death could date back several months. The mummified body of an octogenarian was discovered this Wednesday morning, in the apartment of the individual, located not far from the city center of Agen (Lot-et-Garonne), reports The Depeche du Midi.
There was no smell in the apartment
It was a man, worried about having no more news and seeing the mail piling up in the mailbox, who ended up sounding the alarm. Called by the municipal police, the firefighters intervened and made the macabre discovery.
No suspicious odor emanated from the apartment where the victim lived alone. A police investigation has been opened to determine the circumstances of the death, the track of natural death being, at this stage, privileged.
