The decomposed corpse of a German man was found alone in his bed after nearly seven years, police in the western city of Essen said Thursday.<\/p>\n
The police said in a statement the man was 59 and unemployed at the time of his death. He most likely died of natural causes on November 30, 2000, the date he received a letter from the Welfare Office found in the apartment, police said.<\/p>\n
Next to the dead man’s bed police found cigarettes, an open television guide and Deutschemark coins, which came out of circulation after the euro was introduced in 2002.<\/p>\n
The man’s apartment was in a building with offices and apartments, many of which are now empty.<\/p>\n
“No one missed him. No missing person report was ever filed,” the police said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
