Valery died in his apartment in Brussels, at least a year ago, and no one noticed. The man was at the CPAS and lived in social housing.
“It was shocking, I was sick for three days. He was mummified, the body was intact, presumably because of the cold. In the room itself, the smell was unbearable, but outside his apartment, we mightn’t smell anything,” says Youssef, who lives in Valery’s building, and who confided in the Newspaper.
“His mailbox was full to bursting”
Jenny, her neighbor, says she doesn’t understand: “Her letterbox was full to bursting. I don’t understand why the superintendent of the building didn’t worry. I thought Valery had gone to a nursing home”.
The CPAS informed the Newspaper that he hadn’t received any help since February 2022. “Because his rent was very low and we only get a signal when the arrears reached a certain amount, it took us a long time to notice anything », Explains for its part the Foyer Laekenois.
