Frenchman's body forgotten in Toulouse morgue for 14 years after 2012 death

The body of a 58-year-old Frenchman who died in 2012 in Castelnau-d'Auzan was discovered in the Toulouse university hospital morgue, where it had remained for about 14 years despite a 2013 prosecutor's order for release. The case highlights systemic failure in administrative follow-through, with no family having claimed the body. It raises questions about oversight in French morgue procedures and potential legal accountability.
