Woman Died Watching TV In 1966, Found 42 Years Later, Probably Stunk In The Interim


From geekology, A woman in Croatia died in 1966 while watching television in her apartment, and was just now discovered.

Hedviga Golik made herself a cup of tea and sat down to watch some television in her hometown of Zagreb, Croatia. Sadly, she died in her chair. This was in 1966. She was just found, 42 years later, in her time capsule mausoleum where she's been sitting ever since. She never finished her tea.
Apparently her apartment was never checked, despite a missing person report being filed when she went missing. Only recently did the authorities break into the unit and discover the woman while trying to determine who owned the place.

Damn, that's freaking nuts! I can't imagine how the place went unchecked for 42 years. It had to have stunk like shit for a good long while. Kind of like my place. Isn't that right, Grandma? Grandma? Awh, shit.

That's pretty darn strange. I wonder what the missing piece of the puzzle was, and I suspect it's the six years that students at Zagreb College had their string of highly successful "Dead Lady" parties in the '70s.

She was probably watching a Robert Altman film, Gosford Park perhaps?
