BBC News:

The body of a man believed to have been dead for more than five years has been found in a Bristol flat where a tenant continued to live.
The remains of Denis Pring were discovered on a sofa in the lounge after neighbours reported a foul smell.

Mr Pring, who would have been 73 this year, was the tenant's former lodger at the flat in Bedminster.

It is thought the tenant failed to report the death because he suffers from mental health problems.

An inquest has been opened and adjourned.

The tenant also in his 70s, was initially arrested in connection with the discovery, but was later bailed. Police are no longer treating the death as suspicious.

Bristol City Council has launched an internal inquiry to establish how the corpse went unnoticed for so long.

A spokesman said: "We were alerted to the body after we received reports of a smell.

"We are shocked and concerned by this discovery and are carrying out an urgent internal review of the circumstances of the tenant.

"A police investigation is ongoing, and it would be inappropriate to comment further while this is taking place."

Huh! It took five years for someone to notice a smell? The guy must have put on one hell of a deodorant before he died!

Lol! When I saw the subject title I thought it was one of those Eva Peron deals...when her dictator husband propped her embalmed body up at dinner parties & such!! There is a mention of it in a book I have by a Spanish Countess - a hairdresser was late for her next appt with the Countess & she explained to her why - cuz she had to fix the Missus hair but it was very difficult & it kept falling out...the missus was the long dead Eva Peron. Ewww & sicko yuck!
