A 70 year old mentally handicapped man died today in Almansa, Albacete, when storms caused the roof of his home, a house in very poor condition, to collapse.
The man, who suffered from Diogenes Syndrome, had until recently been housed in a nursing home at the request of the municipal social services but had discharged himself. The house in which he was living was in poor condition and full of rubbish and collapsed after the roof was torn off by strong winds.
