Default Woman sat dead in front of TV for 42 years.

Can you believe this? 42 years !!!

Quote:
THE remains of a woman have been found sitting in front of her TV - 42 years after she was reported missing.
Hedviga Golik, who was born in 1924, had apparently made herself a cup of tea before sitting in her favourite armchair in front of her black and white television.
Croatian police said she was last seen by neighbours in 1966, when she would have been 42 years old.
Her neighbours thought she had moved out of her flat in the capital, Zagreb.
But she was found by police and bailiffs who had broken in to help the authorities establish who owned the flat.
A police spokesman said: "So far, we have no idea how it is possible that someone officially reported missing so long ago was not found before in the same apartment she used to live in.
"When officers went there, they said it was like stepping into a place frozen in time.
"The cup she had been drinking tea from was still on a table next to the chair she had been sitting in and the house was full of things no one had seen for decades. Nothing had been disturbed for decades, even though there were more than a few cobwebs in there."
Neighbours were shocked by the discovery.
Jadranka Markic was nine when Hedviga "vanished".
She said: "I still remember her. She was a quiet woman who kept herself to herself but was polite. We all thought that she had just moved out and gone to live with relatives."

Haha, the time that she spent sitting in front of the TV dead, far exceeds my current age. Lol

Wow, that's really ridiculous. How could it be that they didn't check the apartment earlier.
Probably police not doing there jobs right.

I don't believe it a bit. How can the neighbors miss the foul smell of a dead person? Or if the police searched the place lately, why didn't they do a similar search before? This story was probably written to bring some exposure to some people or some place or some newspaper to become suddenly popular.

Was the TV still working, and what was she watching? Also who paid her bills?

I'm surprised no one checked the apartment.

You don't need electricity once you're dead.

If you don't pay your bills they disconnect your electricity.

But then it means she still had bills to pay, so they didn't call or try to reach her for 42 years.
They just left the bill open?
