MINNERTSGA, NETHERLANDS (BNO NEWS) -- Dutch police have launched an investigation into the death of a 50-year-old man who was found dead in his bed after more than four years, authorities announced on Wednesday.
The man lived together with his two brothers - aged 61 and 67 - and his two sisters - aged 44 and 71 - at a home in Minnertsga, a small village in the northern province of Friesland.
Police said his body was discovered by one of his relatives in his bed on Monday afternoon, more than four years since they had last spoken to him. "They last spoke to their brother in spring of 2006," a police statement read. "He had said he wanted to be left alone on his room."
On Monday, the housing corporation advised the family they wanted to perform maintenance on the home. Then, one of his brothers or sisters went inside the room and discovered the deceased man on his bed. "A general practitioner called police," authorities said.
Police have launched an inquiry to find out whether any crimes were committed. The body of the man, whose identity was not immediately released, will be examined.
