Poor DH found out today that his dad's neighbours were worried for him so they called the Police who found him, they think he'd been dead since yesterday.
He's spoken to Coroners Office who are waiting to hear from the GP as to whether the death was unexpected, before deciding if a PM is needed. Can we tell banks/benefits etc if no death cert yet?
The flat was rented, well over 100 miles from us, DH is sole NOK and barely any other family (DH aunt and cousins), but was pretty much estranged from his dad as parents split when he was young.
Does anyone have any idea what happened next? And how long do you have to clear out rented accommodation(private)? No idea who landlord even is, do we need to pay to make the damage good?
We've been through our mum's deaths before but they were expected and paperwork in place, this is completely different.
Finally, if Police know it's him will DH have to identify the body?
Sorry if these are all odd questions, it's just hard
