Dead body may have been lying in bed for 20 years after skeleton found inside home

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.
