The officials who made the discovery had forced access to the home after repeatedly being unable to contact the occupant, it writes. The Guardian. When the officials were finally able to enter the house, they found the skeleton of the long-dead man here.
Already passed away in 2017
The remains found belong to Robert Alton, who most likely passed away in 2017 at the age of seventy.
The officials who found Alton’s body also discovered a pile of unopened mail a foot high, food with an expiration date of 2017, and reading glasses on a TV guide for May 4, 2017. All this indicates that Alton was seventy years old when he passed away.
Alton’s death could go unnoticed for so long because his landlord automatically continued to receive rent through rent allowance. Stranger is that the municipality did nothing about the increasing overdue municipal taxes that were no longer paid by the man.
No suspicious circumstances
Alton’s landlord, Bolton at Home, has since apologized and admitted it missed opportunities to see that something was wrong. The municipality has announced that it will conduct an internal investigation to determine how it is possible that something was not noticed.
A police investigation concluded that there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of the 70-year-old man.
