Scarily enough
we had a similar guy in halls- Scott. Never got to see inside his room- but he was almost never seen outside it. Occasionally he'd pop up at a lecture, but we never saw him near the halls and never saw him actually go into or come out of his room.

Some of the only contact we had with him was through his door- asking if he knew which clumsy fucker had jumped through the bottom of the shower tray (which lead to us standing on the edge of the tray for 6 more months!

Eventually we started to smell random stuff and he stopped appearing or leaving any trace except for a groan / crunchy walk heard through a wall. We assumed he'd killed and pickled himself and just never hoovered (carpet can be made crunchy with the addition of cornflakes). Your story gives a far, far more gruesome possibility than a murder and self-pickling.

Even more worrying is that this could be a common thing!

Scott eh?
This wouldn't have been at Edinburgh Uni, say 1992 would it?
