Berlin - The decomposed corpse of a German man was found in his bed after nearly seven years, said police in the western city of Essen said on Thursday.
Police said the man was 59 and unemployed at the time of his death. It was probable he had died of natural causes on November 30 2000, the date he received a welfare-office letter found in the apartment, said police.
Next to the dead man's bed police found cigarettes, an open television guide and Deutschemark coins, which came out of circulation after the euro was introduced in 2002.
The man's apartment was in a building with offices and apartments, many of which were now empty.
"No one missed him. No missing person report was ever filed," said police.
