A couple of weeks ago we had the story of the body found in the home that was being shown by a real estate agent, but coming out of Spain is a stranger but true story. A woman who passed away in 2001, I kid you not, was found just recently after the apartment she owned was foreclosed upon and the new owner was inspecting it after a reported fire.

The woman stopped making payments on the property after she had passed away and no one ever bothered to inspect the property during the foreclosure process or after the sale. The onoly reason the new owner visited the property was there was a fire in the building and he was inspecting it for damage.

I wonder what the fridge looked like… ugh…

A man making his first visit to a home he bought in a foreclosure auction found the former owner’s mummified body sitting on the living room couch, police said Tuesday. Coroners estimate the woman’s remains had been there since 2001, when she stopped making payments on the residence in the coastal town of Roses in Spain’s northeast Catalonia region.

The body mummified instead of rotting partly because of the salty seaside air in Roses, a Catalan regional police official said, speaking on customary condition of anonymity.The woman, in her mid-50s, was estranged from her children in Madrid, and no one had reported her missing. She was not identified by officials.Police said her death also went undetected because her ground-level apartment is in an area of vacation homes with a high turnover of travelers.via WTOP
