A domestic employee has found in a house in Fuengirola (Málaga) the skeleton of a person who could have been dead for about a year and whose disappearance had not been reported, police sources reported to EFE on Thursday.
The woman, who had previously worked in the house, was concerned about the lack of news from the owner of the house, so she went to the property on May 29 to inquire about it, and taking advantage of the fact that she had keys, she entered and found the remains.
Everything indicates that the skeleton found corresponds to the owner of the house, an 86-year-old citizen of Japanese origin living on the Costa del Sol whose family, a brother and a niece who live in Japan, had not noticed his absence.
The news reported this Thursday in Diario Sur, which indicates that the corpse was mummified and lay on the ground, next to an armchair, on the covered terrace of the house.
The skeletal remains were transferred to the Institute of Legal Medicine (IML) in Malaga for the pertinent tests to be carried out in order to confirm the identity and clarify the circumstances of death.
The first investigations rule out the intervention of third parties in what happened and suggest that it would be a natural death, since neither the remains nor the interior of the house showed signs of violence, although we will have to wait for the final report from the IML, they have sources explained.
