Friday evening, Virginie* might no longer bear the smell that came from the bottom of her garden. This resident of rue Ernest-Renan, in Liévin in France, smelled “strong odors”, close to “putrefaction”, at the end of her garden. Faced with this untenable situation, as explained by The future of Artoisshe decides to call the fire department.
They will then take a direct interest in the closed garages present in the street. And unfortunately, their fears were quickly confirmed. By opening one of them, the firefighters discovered a body in an advanced state of decomposition. He was also not recognizable, and might be identified thanks to identity papers: he is a 65-year-old man.
No family member has since come forward to the police to be heard. The body was transported to the forensic institute (IML) for an autopsy, which may allow to learn more regarding the circumstances of the death of this man.
