Egypt: The body of an elderly man was found in his house, decomposed and eaten by mice!

In a human tragedy in the city of Suez, eastern Egypt, the decomposing body of an elderly man was found in his apartment, and it was eaten by mice.

The Egyptian security services received a report from the residents of the Triangle area in the Al-Arbaeen neighborhood in the Suez Governorate, stating that an unpleasant smell emanated from a closed apartment in the area, and none of its owners responded to anyone knocking on its door.

The authorities broke down the door of the apartment to discover the decomposing body of a 65-year-old named Abdo, who had gathered around it, rats that ate parts of the corpse.

And it turned out that the old man, according to the report of the health inspector, died 6 days ago, and the foul smell began to emanate only about 3 days ago, until it increased significantly on Friday, so the residents informed the authorities.


Investigations revealed that the elderly person resides in the apartment alone after the death of his wife, while the authorities summoned a relative of his wife, who confirmed that he did not know anything about his death because he decided to isolate after passing through a bad psychological condition.

The Public Prosecution Office, which conducted the investigation, was notified.
