Firefighters Clear Cluttered Moaña Home to Remove Body of Woman Found Dead

An initial police assessment points to natural causes.

Overview

  • The woman's son found her unconscious at their Moaña home, and medical teams could only confirm her death.
  • Emergency responders from health services, Protección Civil, Policía Local and Guardia Civil called O Morrazo firefighters to cut a route through rooms packed with objects, using masks for safety.
  • The cluttered conditions were described by operational sources as compatible with a hoarding disorder sometimes called Diogenes syndrome.
  • Her very high body weight, estimated by some around 200 kilos, further complicated access and the transfer of the body.
  • After crews moved her to the ground floor, a judicial commission certified the removal, and the Civil Guard said their initial review found no signs of violence and pointed to natural causes.
