Urban explorers find man dead on toilet while searching through ‘abandoned’ house

A GROUP of explorers found a man dead on the toilet after investigating a house they believed to be abandoned. The house, in Somerset, was still decorated with personal belongings, despite the back door being wide open and the house overgrown. After first coming across the house, the group decided not to enter, unsure if anyone was living in it. They then came back to the property at a later point, where they made the grisly discovery. Sign up for The Sun newsletter Thank you! The explorers revealed a man – later identified as “John” – was dead on the toilet. In the post shared by Mission_urbex and Just Looking Explorers, they said: “Something about the house kept playing on our minds. Surely if someone was living there, the back door wouldn’t be damaged and left open? “Inside, everything was still there. Coats and hats hung by the door, the bed was unmade and everyday belongings filled the rooms. Outside, John’s little red car sat rotting away, clearly having not moved for years. “Eventually, we discovered John deceased on the toilet. We immediately called the emergency services, and the police and ambulance attended. What started as a normal explore became something neither of us will ever forget.” They went on to explain that while the discovery was disturbing, they felt some peace knowing someone had finally found John’s body. They said: “Who knows how much longer John could have been there before somebody found him.” Most read in The Sun Reactions quickly poured in online, many glad they found the man, but others less impressed. One person said: “If you truly wanted to respect what you found and you wanted to keep it secret, you wouldn’t have posted it at all.” Another said: “This is disgusting that you have posted this, shame on you!” Others came quick to defend the explorers, saying they are glad John “can rest in peace and in dignity”.
