German police broke into a darkened flat fearing they would find a dead body after neighbours complained of a nasty smell seeping out on to the staircase.
The shutters of the apartment had been closed for more than a week and the postbox was filled with uncollected mail.
But, instead of a corpse, police found a tenant with badly smelling feet asleep in bed next to a pile of foul-smelling laundry, police in the southwestern town of Kaiserslautern said on Sunday.
