A local police officer found a deceased man in a house in Koedijk, who had probably been lying there for two months. Images show that there are a lot of flies on the windows. According to the police officer, it is important that people who see something like this contact the police.
In a tweet, a community police officer from Alkmaar-Noord said that neighbors had already called because they had not seen their neighbor for a while. That would not really be special, because the man often went abroad for a month without reporting anything.
The community police officer indicates that he still had a bad feeling about the situation, and went back the next day to break open the gate to the garden.
Window full of flies
There, the community police officer found a window full of flies, which showed that the resident had been dead in the house for two months.
Police later deleted the tweets as they were considered shocking by some people. They do indicate that they hope that people will keep an eye on each other and contact the police if they have doubts about the well-being of their neighbours.
