Mummified corpse found after two years

A mummified corpse has been discovered in a flat in the UK, where it has been for two years.

The body - which still had hair on the head, face and chest - was found with clothes on and underneath a blanket when a bailiff broke into a flat in Staffordshire, the Burton Mail newspaper reports.

Pathologist Dr Joseph Newman, who carried out the post-mortem examination, told an inquest: "The scalp area was grey and there was evidence of balding.

"He had a grey moustache. There was some grey hair on the chest. There was mummification which had occurred."

But no cause of death could be recorded due to the delay in finding the body.
