It was the neighbors who, inconvenienced by the smell, sounded the alarm and led to the macabre discovery. This morning, around 9:45 a.m., firefighters discovered a body in an apartment on rue de la Verrerie, in the city center of Aix-en-Provence. The latter was in “an advanced state of decomposition“, making it impossible to determine whether it was a man or a woman, as well as her age. According to our information, however, it would be a woman in her forties. The date and the cause of death are not yet known.
