Dead woman watches TV for 42 years

A Croatian woman who died 42 years ago was found recently sitting in her armchair at home watching TV.
The mummified remains of Hedviga Golik, who was born in 1924 were sitting on the armchair in front of a black and white TV set. It looks like she had made herself a cup of tea and sat down to watch the television which at the time was regarded as a luxury item. Croatian police say she was reported as missing by neighbours in 1966, 42 years ago and has not been seen since. Neighbours say they thought she had moved out of her flat in the capital Zagreb. Police who broke into the apartment with bailiffs after local authorities wanted to check on its ownership found her remains in the small 13 square metre apartment. 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."
