Owners found a dead body in their new apartment

The incident took place in Szolnok, where, after buying the property at an auction, the new owner found a mummified body in the apartment – reports szoljon.hu.

The auction rules state that only those apartments can be visited that are inhabited, the ones uninhabited cannot, so they might hold some unpleasant surprises for the owners. Such thing happened on Tuesday when the owners found a mummified body upon arrival into their new home. The following in szoljon.hu’s recollection of the scene.

According to the author, the authorities were busy examining the scene, when a postman arrived to deliver a bill to the owner. The police informed him that he’s been delivering letters and bills in vain, as the owner has been dead for years now. There was an accumulation of letters in the apartment.
The neighbours told the newsagents that the body was found in the living room, lying on the couch. The police are not sure who the deceased is as of yet, but they assume that it’s the previous owner, who was a man about fifty years old, having moved there 8-10 years ago. The neighbours barely saw him, running into the man a couple times after his moving in, but not much afterwards.
