An inquiry was under way last night to discover how the body of a dead man lay on a sofa for at least eight years while an elderly tenant continued to live in the same warden-controlled council flat.
The corpse of a former lodger was discovered on January 30 by council workers after neighbours reported a bad smell emanating from the Bristol flat.
It is believed the remaining occupant is the official tenant of the property, but failed to report the death due to serious mental health issues.
Bristol city council, which runs the warden-controlled complex of flats, has launched an internal inquiry to establish how the body lay undetected for so long.
