Mummified remains of Tomislav Nemes found in Gold Coast home: Queensland Police fear corpse could have been there for more than a year

The body of a 69-year-old man could have sat in his Gold Coast home for more than a year before it was discovered by police.

Tomislav Nemes’ body was found inside his Edinburgh Rd home in Benowa on April 17.

Gold Coast detectives from the homicide unit shared photos of Mr Nemes on Tuesday after revealing his body may have been in the home for more than 12 months. 

‘While scientific examinations remain ongoing to determine his cause of death, it is being treated as suspicious,’ Queensland Police said in a statement. 

Mr Nemes was from the Australian Capital Territory and moved to Queensland in 2018.

It’s understood Mr Neme’s interstate relatives asked police to conduct a welfare check at the home where officers made the grim discovery.

Anyone who was in contact with Mr Nemes or visited his home in recent years, is urged to contact police.
