A DECOMPOSED body has been found inside the charred wreckage of a house blaze after neighbors reported a foul smell coming from the property.
Cops in Phenix Park, Alabama made the shocking find on June 6 – almost a month after a fire broke out in a mobile home.

The body was found as crews were clearing the remains of a trailer that had been destroyed, WRBL reported.
