Woman Sat Dead In Front Of TV For 42 Years
CRIPES!!! I hope she didn’t have a Nielsen Ratings Box …

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.”

As ghoulish as this sounds, I’d love to see the pictures of what they found in that apartment.

My question is in 1966, nobody wondered what the smell was coming from her apartment? Oh, wait, again, it was in Croatia.
Wait until her family receives the rent bill!

Would be a hell of a TV set if it were!
And talk about the electric bill, Viper!!!
June 20th, 2008 at 11:41 amGreat neighbors! Bet they make you feel welcome into the neighborhood.
I don’t think this one smells the sniff test. At least I hope it doesn’t because if it does, this is about as sad as it gets.
June 20th, 2008 at 12:11 pmMake that passes the sniff test…
June 20th, 2008 at 12:12 pmCool. I hope I go that way, nobody fiddling with my rancid carcass, just turn into a time capsule with all my toys about for some archaeologist.
here’s to not letting go of your stuff old lady!
June 20th, 2008 at 12:18 pmthe funny thing, is that no administration claimed for the unpaid bills of electricity ; ok, that was under Tito communist government, dunno if it was free at this time.
