I was living in a small cinder block house about a 1/4 mile from St Pete Beach one summer and I had caught a cooler full of crabs one night and forgot about it when I got home. There may have been some alcohol involved.
3 days later I am sitting in the living room with the noisy old window shaker running as hard as it can run when there is a knock at the front door which is obviously the law...I don't know how they do it but they have a distinctive way of knocking. I immediately run through the inventory of why the police would be at the door....there ain't no drugs left and there ain't no unpaid tickets or bench warrants that I am aware of...I ain't driving so I ain't concerned about insurance etc (always an issue at the time LOL)...so I confidently go to the door with the knowledge that it ain't me they are looking for....and sure enough 2 deputies are standing there when I open the door...and they tell me that the neighbors are complaining about the stench of a dead body somewhere in the neighborhood and that it seems to be coming from my side yard. I was, of course, horrified to contemplate that someone had died in the yard....and wasn't completely certain that the cops weren't implying that maybe I had something to do with that persons death...then the wind shifted subtly and I knew immediately what the problem was. I was actually relieved even though a $10 cooler being tossed in the dumpster was a lot of money at the time LOL...I showed the cops the cooler and explained that I had forgotten it was there....they didn't ask how I forgot, no doubt due to the stench...and got the hell out of dodge after telling me I had to do something with that stinking mess LOL...

seal it shut bring to walk in deep freeze and freeze it solid. then dump it out as a block of ice.
clean cooler with dawn and water, followed by URINE OUT which uses several cleaners including H2O2. Then use charcoal and finally follow with peppermint oil.
good as new.

I'd rather just buy a new one. expensive lessons aren't usually forgotten.

Years ago I left a king and a few bonita in a 150 qt Igloo on the boat. I meant to cut them up and freeze them for bait the next trip. I forgot they were in the cooler and left the boat in a covered storage shed in Gulf Shores. Well, it turned out I did not get a chance to go to the coast again for 3 months. I drive all the way down from North Alabama, get to the boat and notice the smell. Pop open the lid to find it 3/4 full of a nice oily fish slurry. It was so bad that me and my cousin could barely get it out the boat while trying not to dump it everywhere, we set it on the ground next to the dumpster for the storage units and pulled the boat out of there. After fishing offshore overnight I went and found a new storage unit over OBA.

Okay, I will grant this is not exactly the same as OP, but it's pretty related.
When I was growing up, Dad and his brother grew cattle, and about twice a year they would butcher some steers and each family would get a side of beef and sell the rest. Dad had a chest freezer he had gotten when his mother moved in with us. As he didn't have room for it inside the house, he put it on the porch, and the only way he could plug it in was to rig an adapter to the overhead light. He even put duct tape over the switch so nobody would accidentally turn the freezer off.
Unfortunately, the switch got turned off anyway, and nobody noticed for a couple of days. We had gone through about half of the beef, but the rest of it rotted. Man, what a smell.
Since, there was no way to empty the freezer without risking stinking up the porch forever, his final solution was to use one of his tractors to pull the freezer out. He then loaded it on a trailer and dumped it off in the woods he owned a couple of miles from anyone. Opened up the freezer and let nature take it's course (all of the beef was in butcher paper that was already rotting away.)
About a year later, his father-in-law went down to the freezer and took out the compressor to use for his own cold room.
Dad ended up buying another freezer, and more importantly, installing a dedicated plug for it.

Crawfish or shrimp heads inside the old school hubcaps in the summer were always a way to pay a buddy back.
I remember Buckskin Bill leaving an icechest full of trout fillets he was supposed to be dropping off to our church fish fry in the trunk of his car at the airport for a week. In August. Said when he got back, his car was covered with flies. Took it to every auto detailer in town, without success, finally had to sell the car.
I always store my icechests with crumpled up newspapers in them. Keeps them smelling pretty good, and it’s about all The Advocate is good for anymore.

I would have offered some kid 10$ to empty for me when he wimped out I would have called him a sissy and dared his friend to do it and offered the said friend 25$.
I would have recorded it and uploaded to YouTube enough hits and my 25$ is covered

When Hurricane Ike hit several years back, I couldn't get to my camp up at Toledo Bend for two weeks. When I finally did, I found my brand new chest freezer full of food had gone out and everything inside (whole chickens, fish, shrimp, deer meat, etc.) had swollen up until the top opened and everything started oozing out. It was horrid.
Lucky it was out on the covered deck - I took my backhoe and dug a big hole in the corner of the property, strapped the freezer shut, and dragged the whole mess to the hole and dumped it in. Then I went to Leesville and bought a new one at Lowes. The guy who ran the dept said, "Didnt you just buy one before the storm?" I said, "Yes, yes I did."
