A lady in her seventies, and visibly in denial, had been living for several weeks in her home with the body of her deceased son, relays Nice-Matin.
Neighbors, alerted by the smell emanating from the residence, contacted the fire department.
On the spot, the emergency services discovered the forty-year-old lying on a camp bed in the middle of the living room. The latter was in an advanced state of decomposition. He was last seen on July 27.
BFMTV specifies that his mother indicated that her son was sleeping. She was hospitalized in the psychiatry department of the Simone Veil hospital.
An autopsy will be performed to determine the exact date and cause of death.
