Rome, 14 March (IANS/AKI) The decomposing body of what police believe to be a woman was found in an advanced state of decomposition in a derelict house near Florence.

The corpse was discovered by the owners of the house in the hamlet of San Piero a Ponti which was set to be demolished, police said on Tuesday.

Identity documents belonging to 57-year-old Polish woman were found beside the body.
