No-one had to die in apartment 5A ~ nor was it necessary for their belongings to be returned to 5A for there to be a transference of the scent of a dead person.
It is documented that individuals only have to be in the same room as a deceased person for the transference to affect the clothing being worn.

I read the first 3 or 4 posts on the link and then gave up on it.
People can supposedly smell death on those about to die, or nope, this idea is nonsense.
One cannot get smell of death removed from oneself or one's clothing, or nope, this idea is nonsense because you can supposedly do both.
The issue I am interested in is the alerts in 5A. And can they be ascribed to a previous occupant, now dead. By whatever means.
AFAIK, the Ocean Club complex was built around 1982. I don't know if that is designed, built or the selling of apartments, but it is not relevant here.
The point is the blocks searched by the dogs were roughly 25 years old in 2007.
I am not going to supply evidence as to who, precisely, purchased and occupied those blocks over 25 years. Let alone who rented them.
The general profile of owner-renters appears to be retired, ex-pats. People who over a period of 25 years would have a tendency to die.
This returns us to the well known challenge of explaining why alerts were recorded in 5A, and 27 Rua Das Flores, but not in the other 25 year old apartments. We have deceased people a-plenty, but not alerts.
People connected to 5A died. The dogs alerted. Am I expected to believe this is due to contamination?
Since the dogs did not alert elsewhere in block 5 or block 4, am I expected to believe that no one associated with these died before the doggy searches?
My post was about the total absence of evidence for 'cremations' and 'artefacts returned to 5A'. Am I expected to believe this? And also believe the properties searched in block 5 and block 4 were clear of such contamination? After 25 years?
