27-Year-Old Man's Decomposed Body Found in Yorkville Residence: Report

The body of a 27-year-old man is thought to have gone unnoticed since October.

A 27-year-old Yorkville man's body was found decomposing in his home, said the Yorkville Police according to the Aurora Beacon.

The man, identified as Justin Ludolph, appeared badly decomposed and due to the state of the body a cause of death was unable to be determined. An autopsy is scheduled for Wednesday, but police do not suspect foul play.

The body was discovered, according to the Beacon, by a locksmith who had been sent to the home in the 100 block of Bertram Drive to change the locks, as the property was entering foreclosure.  

Packages near the front door had been sitting unclaimed since October, said police.
