Yes Patrick, ESA said they discovered methane near the remnants of a body of water and determined that it was proof that life did exist. It was determined, based on the amount of methane present, that the life form was more than likely man. Last I heard, they were searching the area for signs of fishing lures and bottle tops... ;) Quoting Patrick Wiggins <paw@trilobyte.net>:

Maybe I'm missing something but didn't ESA report this last year?
I'm pretty sure ESA's Mars Express found methane over likely water bearing areas shortly after arriving at Mars.
