The former owner has since been missing, all attempts to contact him or his family all proved abortive, his neighbors thought he was out of the country, the former occupant Thomas Ngin lost his job in 2005, and was in serious debt for a long time, it was in 2005 that he was last seen, all through this time, his neighbors have helped him clear his mailbox and pass letters under his door, not knowing that he had long commited suicide by hanging himself with his bedsheet.
This trend of lonely living is becoming very popular in France, this wont be the first time that a corpse is found years after its death.
