Landlord found decomposed remains in basement apartment

The decomposed remains of a man were discovered at a Dublin property after a gardener notified the landlord, an inquest heard.

The landlord entered the basement apartment following a report from the gardener who had not seen the occupant for a week.

Landlord Gerry Collins entered the property with his brother Michael Collins to find the decomposed remains of tenant Noel Gaughan (64), who had been living at the address for a number of years.
