How come no one knew?
 

BBC NEWS | England | Bristol | Man dead for years found in flat

Wonder if the poor bloke had any family but to have someone living with his body for years and not reporting it. It does say he has mental health problems but surely someone should have noticed!

i would of, speacially when u dont see the person or hear any noise, i once noticed that one of my neighbours had his curtains opened at nite when he used to close them and went like that for a few days until i just coudnt resist to knock on door to see if he was alright, he was really nice and thanked me for being concerned,.
Is little things like the curtain thing that makes u wonder lol, i know im just weird

How can anyone live with that, are the council saying that they had not mad any repairs or serviced anything in that flat for 5 years!!! im sure someone had been in that flat and noticed a rotting corpse on the sofa, the smell must have been really bad, i doubt that he would have been dead for 5 years, if i was one of the neighbours i would have moved,

I dont understand how nobody would have noticed the smell, it would've been putrid. I cant think of any explanation for it.

Bollocks is what i say it would have started smelling after a day so if thats 5 years on and no-one entered the house apart the the man with mental health difficultys balls

I agree with you Nickelson, my first though was a smell after five years, I would have thought the smell would have all but gone after that length of time, plus the windows would have been full of flies within weeks of the death
