A sleeping woman was woken up by blood dripping on her from a ceiling fan – after her neighbor on the floor above had died and his body started decomposing.

Ana Cardenas, from El Paso, Texas, says she was disturbed in the middle of the night by what she thought was the sound of rain and water dripping on her face.

But those droplets were actually splatters of blood that had been sprayed across her flat by the blades on her fan. The blood covered the walls, her bed and her face and hair.

The horrifying ordeal happened because her neighbor on the floor above, a man aged between 50 and 70, had died five to six days ago and his began has started to decompose.

As the body of the man, who died of natural causes, began to rot blood started seeping through the floorboards and into Ana’s flat, via her ceiling fan.

The noise of the blood splattering across her room woke her up at around 4am, Ana explained in an interview with Fox 8.

‘It grossed me out, I was in shock, I thought this isn’t real this is a dream, wake up. I called maintenance and they said are you sure and I said blood is falling on me’, Ana said in Spanish.

‘The firefighters knocked down his door and the body was laying exactly where my fan is underneath. He had carpet but the blood seeped through to my ceiling.’

Ana said police her that her neighbor had been decomposing for about five to six days.

‘They took the fan down and a pool of blood came down’, Ana added.

She explained how she stayed at a hotel for a few nights following the orderal but has appealed to her apartment’s management team for compensation for her damaged property.

‘I told them my bed is covered in blood and they told me they’re sorry but the insurance won’t pay it’, Ana said.

She said she did not have renter’s insurance since it was not required.

Ana added that she has been left traumatized and can’t eat, sleep or be in peace in the flat since the incident. She plans to get a medical exam to ensure she doesn’t have an infection.

‘It was awful, an awful impact’, Ana said, as she admitted she plans to move out of the flat in the neat future.
