Frenchman lived with dead body of dad for decade

Gruesome discovery of mummified remains found after death of 79-year-old son

SAINT-QUENTIN, FRANCE: French police have found the mummified body of a man who died a decade ago in the flat of his deceased 79-year-old son, the police said on Thursday.

A police source said the gruesome discovery of the mummified remains found three days after the son’s death in Saint-Quentin in northeastern France last month.



A cousin of the dead man went to clear the flat “and found the mummified body of the father under a sheet. The man had been dead for 10 years,” the source said.

Both men died of natural causes.
