Possibility of man being dead for years

The scene offered several disturbing details that raised these suspicions. The most significant was the corpse's condition, suggesting longevity in death.

A supporting clue was the 2018 calendar hanging on the home's wall, reinforcing the speculation about the year of death.

The circumstances leading to the discovery were unusual. Firefighters were required to force open the home's door after the deceased's brother, residing in Rome, raised concerns.

The brother had tried to visit but found the home's door locked. Unable to contact him, he alerted the appropriate authorities, which led to this grim discovery.
