I'm more surprised any neighbors didn't figure somethng was wrong - look how many people here on dizzy-dot have talked about being estranged from other family members for multiple years.

You've GOT to be kidding!!!

It's really heart-breaking to think someone has no family or friends that love and care for them.

Wow... this is wrong. I am shocked that no one checked her apartment. That no one cared to check out the smell coming from her apartment. Or that no landlord or bank wondered were their mortage/rent was. Truly sad.

Cannot read the article because the site has been blocked, but did it say what program was on? Maybe Ed Sullivan?

e're not sure what was on TV in 1966 in the former Yugoslavia, but it was the last thing seen by a woman whose remains have only recently been found.

Hedviga Golik, who was born in 1924, was discovered by police in the Croatian capital of Zagreb, long-dead and sitting in her armchair in front of her black-and-white television.

The deceased had been reported missing 42 years ago, and neighbors say they thought she had moved away to live with relatives. Oddly though, the police only recently broke in to try to determine who owned the apartment and they still have not figured out how the woman could have been reported missing so long ago without anyone checking the residence.

"When officers went there, they said it was like stepping into a place frozen in time," a police spokesman said. "The cup she had been drinking tea from was still on a table next to the chair she had been sitting in ... Nothing had been disturbed for decades, even though there were more than a few cobwebs in there."

A neighbor, fittingly, remembered Golik as "a quiet woman who kept herself to herself."

This is the former Yugoslavia where people owned their property outright from the beginning, so there would be no bank representative or landlord visiting. The utilities were just shut off after a while for non payment. What strikes me as odd is that no one complained about the slight whiff of death coming from the place. This is really sad.
