Sydney, Australia : An elderly pensioner lay dead in his apartment in Australia’s largest city for a year before anyone noticed, AP quoted officials and news reports as saying today.
The body of Jorge Chambe, 64, was found on Tuesday in his single bedroom, government-owned flat in the Sydney suburb of Yagoona when police and firefighters broke in, after concerns about his welfare were finally raised.
Decomposition of the body was advanced and bank records indicated Chambe died about a year earlier, officials said.
