I don't know about you....but I would have thought that someone would have come to the place to either evict her or to re-rent the place. If she owned it, I would have thought that the government would have foreclosed for not paying taxes.

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."

In the former Soviet Union, uh.. I never did get those lines. Tea drinks you? TV watches you?

I'd also love to be able to make a zombie joke, but I'm falling short on that one, too.

One ticket for the failtrain, please.

"We've received a missing person report!"
"Well, have we checked her apartment?"
"Of course not, she couldn't be missing if she were in her apartment."
 
So that's the significance of the number 42? 😛


Found dead after 42 years.

Would have been 42 years old.

This is no coincidence, 42 is after us.

if you add 4 + 2 you get 6 then you minus that from 13 and get 7 and if you multiply 7 by 6 you get 42!!!!

Somehow sounds like a the beginnings of a good guinness commercial
 
How did the smell not bother anyone? If it's one of those soviet-era apartment buildings with rooms built side-by-side.. the smell should have surely been strong enough for at least the rooms around hers.
 
Must suck to have nobody care about you. At least not enough to go looking for you at your own apartment.

So, was the tea all evaporated? 😀

My theory:
6 beers in a 6 pack.
7 days in a week.
6*7=42.

I think it was Croatia, not SU.

You're right. I should have said the Soviet Bloc. Even then, I'd have been wrong I see now, as apparently Yugoslavia was never part of the Eastern Bloc.

Again, one ticket for the failtrain =(

Lol, at the rate you're going, it'll be cheaper to buy a monthly FailRailPass. 😛
