The Peculiar Press: It’s Amazing What You Find Between The Cushions Of A Sofa!

In England, a cleaning service was tidying up an apartment after the previous owner was evicted and stumbled upon a withered and fully clothed corpse hiding under a sofa. After an investigation, police discovered that the body had been hidden in the apartment for nearly 10 years before its discovery. The victim’s roommate, who suffered from severe learning disabilities, came home one night and found the victim dead on the floor after a night of hard drinking. Worried that he would be evicted from his apartment because of a strict no lodgers policy, the man decided to hide the body in his sofa. Police were called to the residence multiples times to investigate complaints of a strange odor emanating from the apartment, but never discovered the body because of the piles of garbage the man had been hoarding in every corner. The man continued with his day to day routine unfazed by the corpse slowly moldering in the depths of his sofa for a decade, until he was finally evicted.
