Overview
- Authorities named the deceased as Antonio Famoso, who is believed to have died around 2010 at about age 70 or 71.
- Firefighters and police entered the sixth‑floor flat in La Fuensanta through a window while addressing flooding caused by recent heavy rain and a blocked drain.
- The clothed body was found mummified on a bedroom bed, with pigeons, carcasses, insects and accumulated rubbish present, and the door locked from the inside.
- Neighbors said they assumed he had moved to a care home, while automated bill payments and continued pension deposits kept accounts active and mailboxes were periodically emptied.
- Police report he had long been estranged from a wife and two children, and they are treating the case as a likely natural death pending autopsy findings.
