Emergency services were forced to remove an upstairs window of a house to lift out a body in Moss Side on Monday evening. Officers and crews from Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) were called to Crondall Street where the tragic discovery was made.
Horrified neighbours watched on as the body, understood to be that of a male, was winched through the window, at around 4pm (May 9). Those living in adjoining homes spoke of their shock after witnessing the body bag be descended slowly to the ground.
It is understood that removing the window was the only way the body could be retrieved, with pictures showing the extent of items hoarded inside the property.
