Strasbourg, France: New owners renovating a house in eastern France made the shock discovery of a human skeleton that are likely that of a former owner who vanished 15 years ago, prosecutors said Monday.
"A corpse reduced to a skeleton was found on Saturday afternoon" in Erstroff, just across the border from German city Saarbruecken, said Olivier Glady, prosecutor in nearby town Sarreguemines.
The remains were found "in a difficult-to-access spot under the roof whose entrance was almost hidden," Glady told AFP Monday.
The new owners were renovating the home after buying it in 2023 following the death of the former owner's widow.
"While looking for the source of rainwater leaking into the roof structure, one of the owners entered the cubbyhole almost without realising, and found the skeletal remains inside," Glady said.
