A fridge unplugged for 3 weeks with food inside that I had to clean out. I haven't smelled a rotting corpse but I imagine that it can't be far off.

I am surprised you cleaned it out instead of like, burning it to ash with thermite

I had to empty one out too after it failed during a vacation simply because it was too heavy move full.

Not recommended.

I once read a comment from someone working for a company that cleaned out houses that - for one reason or another - haven't been inhabited for some time. First rule he got told was to always just tape the fridge shut and drive it directly to the landfill.
