The individual had entered the house, believed to have been vacant for a long time, on a regular search for unused items. As he rummaged through the building, he unexpectedly came across the remains.
The skeleton was found in a sitting position, partially covered by debris, indicating that the house had likely been abandoned for a significant period. The authorities were immediately notified of the discovery, and a police team from the Muallim district arrived at the scene to investigate further.
