Frenchman dead since 2004 discovered 03/07/2007 00:00
COPENHAGEN, July 3, 2007 (AFP) - A Frenchman who died in late 2004 was finally found in his apartment on the outskirts of the Danish town of Odense, the Danish television channel DRI reported Monday.
Danish police confirmed that the caretaker of the building had discovered the body of the 54-year-old man, but would not provide further details.
The caretaker finally gained access to the apartment with the help of a locksmith after having tried several times to contact the occupant about leaky pipes, reported DR1 and the website of the regional paper Fyens Stifstidende.
The man lived alone in the Egeparken district and did not appear to have either family or friends. He paid his bills by direct debit, DR1 reported.
