The corpse of a 71-year-old man from Zabbar appears to have been mauled by his hungry dog, the police said.
Police were alerted by neighbours that they had not seen Ronnie Stafrace for several weeks, and when they turned up at his home they discovered the man's body inside.
Stafrace appears to have died of natural causes and parts of his body were eaten by his hungry dog.
Mr Stafrace and his dog lived together in the home.
Animal Welfare Department officials were called to the scene to take the dog.
An autopsy is expected to be held today.
Magistrate Anthony Vella has ordered an inquiry.
