Skeleton of French man found in bed after 15 years

:( LILLE, France (Reuters) - Police in France said on Friday they were trying to identify the skeleton of a man believed to have lain undiscovered in bed for more than 15 years.

The body, found in an abandoned house in the northern city of Lille, is thought to be that of the elderly owner of the property, who lived alone and appeared to have no relatives.

Police said they had found piles of unopened mail at the house dating back to 1996.
 
So.... In France you don't have to pay taxes ? How could 15 years go by without anyone finding him?
 

How was the electric and water bills paid over the 15 years??

They never said, but most likely the utilities were just shut off for non-payment (unopened Notices in the mail), and nobody noticed, because the old man was the only one using them until he died. :(
