This kind of story always creeps me out. Landlord Finds Years-Old Corpse:
The death of an unemployed Slovak man went unnoticed for nearly two years until his landlord broke into his apartment to evict him, police said on Wednesday.The tenant had not paid rent on his flat in the central Slovak town of Lucenec since March 2001. Tardy payment and eviction warnings had all been returned unopened.
Accompanied by police, the landlord discovered the renter’s desiccated corpse on a mattress in the flat, a police spokeswoman said. Neighbors of the dead man, who would have been 54, had not noticed his disappearance as he was reclusive.
