Decomposed Body of Missing Man Found Hidden in Mulhouse Storage Unit

The 38-year-old victim, identified by distinctive tattoos, was discovered wrapped in a sack and concealed beneath an earth-filled armoire.

The body of a 38-year-old man was discovered on December 24, 2024, in a storage unit on the outskirts of Mulhouse, Haut-Rhin.
The victim, who had been reported missing weeks prior, was identified through his distinctive tattoos due to the advanced state of decomposition.
Investigators found the body wrapped in a combination of jute and plastic sack material, hidden beneath an armoire filled with soil, likely to mask odors or add weight.
The storage unit's tenant, who stopped paying rent in June, is a potential lead in the ongoing criminal investigation by the brigade criminelle.
Authorities are conducting forensic analyses and an autopsy to determine the cause and timeline of death, though immediate conclusions are hindered by the body's condition.
