A fifty-year-old, dead for more than two years, was found hanged on Wednesday in an HLM accommodation in Morlaix (Finistère), we learned from the police on Friday, confirming information from the daily Le
Télégramme
.
He
“had not given any news for a long time”
and
“his mailbox was overflowing with leaflets”
, which prompted his neighbors to alert the police, according to the latter.
The corpse,
"very degraded and very dry"
, was not identifiable but it was believed to be the tenant of the accommodation, born in 1969.
"DNA analyzes are underway to confirm it"
, the police told AFP .
Logbook of the deceased
The date of death was estimated from documents found at the home.
The fifty-year-old, who lived alone, kept
“a logbook in which he recounted everything he did during the day.
It stopped suddenly, at the beginning of 2022
,” the police said.
Three days before the sudden end of this diary, the man had been informed of the death of his father.
At the beginning of March, a septuagenarian, dead for several months, was found at his home in another district of the Breton city.
“As the rent continued to be collected, there was no particular action”
from the social landlord, explained the PS mayor of Morlaix Jean-Paul Vermot, who called an emergency meeting so that this type of situations do not happen again.
“We cannot bear to see one of our fellow citizens die in such solitude
,” he said, judging that solitude was
“often a corollary of poverty
. ”
