Man lay dead in his flat for TWO YEARS until cleaners turned up to clear his home

A loner lay dead in his city centre flat for two years after no one realised he had passed away, an inquest heard. The skeletal remains of Simon Allen were only discovered when deep cleaners went to his home. His body - wearing just a pair of socks - was found lying behind an armchair in the living room of the flat in Brighton, East Sussex, in November. Eleven days earlier his landlord and bailiffs had gone to the first-floor property to check why his rent had not been paid for several months. Neighbours said there had been a 'musty smell' in the hallway outside the flat before his body was found, but nothing more unusual than that. Police said they believed that Mr Allen had died in December 2010 when he would have been aged around 50.
