A deceased man has been found in his home in Rotterdam. Police believe he may have been dead for a year.

The man’s body was spotted through a rear window of a house during a welfare check from police.

According to the police, the body was in an advanced state of decomposition.

The police also found mail in the house from November 2022 and old newspapers indicating the man had been deceased for a long period.

However, foul play is not suspected. “We assume a natural death,” said a police spokesman to the NOS.

Sam isn’t great at being Dutch. Originally hailing from Australia, she came to study in the Netherlands without knowing where the country was on a map. She once accidentally ordered the entire ice-cream menu at Smullers. She still can’t jump on the back of a moving bike. But, she remains fascinated by the tiny land of tall people.
