KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Workers at a motel found a dead man under a mattress Sunday while cleaning a room where a guest had spent three nights, complaining repeatedly about a foul odor, police said.
The guest first complained about the smell when he checked in Thursday at the Capri Motel, just east of downtown Kansas City. But management told the man nothing could be done about the odor, police Capt. Rich Lockhart said in a media release.
The man checked out Sunday because he said he could no longer tolerate the smell, Lockhart said.
