Skeleton Found in French Attic Solves 15-Year Mystery

New homeowners discovered the remains of a man who vanished in 2009, believed to have taken his own life.

The skeletal remains were identified as belonging to Aloïs Iffly, a former homeowner who disappeared at age 81.
The discovery was made by new homeowners during renovations in Erstroff, eastern France.
The body was found in a hard-to-reach attic space, accessed through a nearly invisible trapdoor.
A rope found near the remains suggests the death might have been a suicide, according to local prosecutors.
The remains have been sent to Strasbourg for forensic analysis to confirm the identity and cause of death.
