Firefighters from the Lanzarote Security and Emergency Consortium found this Thursday, March 30, the body of an 87-year-old man who had been "dead for several days" inside a house in Arrieta in the municipality of Haría.

It was the Local Police who, due to the smell, requested the intervention of the firefighters to open the house because it was believed that there was a deceased person inside.

Emergency personnel used a ladder to access the house and found the body of the deceased in an advanced state of decomposition. The man apparently died of natural causes, according to La Voz. In addition, he lived alone.
