An elderly man, who was described as a hoarder, was found dead in his home after no one had seen him for nearly a month.
Humberside Police confirmed officers found a man's body in a property in Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, on January 14 after receiving reports of concern for his safety.
Police confirmed that the man's death was not being treated as suspicious.
He was thought to have had no working electricity or heating and no indoor toilet at the home, while he had also been dealing with a 15-year-long water leak at his property, according to relatives of his neighbours.
