[Foxy Brown]

A pensioner's body lay undisturbed for years on a sofa while his elderly flatmate continued with his life around him, it has emerged.

The man's corpse was discovered only last week, when council workers went to investigate the smell coming from the property.

The man, who has not been formally identified, was in his seventies and had been dead "several years", police said.
