Dead Body Lies In Bed For 41 Years

ZAGREB, CROATIA – After neighbour Katica Caric last saw her 41 years ago, as she was talking with two unknown men, Hedviga Golik (84) was found dead yesterday, in the bed of her small loft apartment in Zagreb`s 77 Medvescak.

Despite numerous tenants` actions, who noticed nobody was using the flat in 1970, as well as the city services, which requested the apartment to be broken into and examined, nobody reacted to their pleas for nearly four decades.

Police did not want to break into the apartment in 1991

Tenant Mirko Horvatic sent a memo to the police in 1991, which was signed by the tenants’` council, requesting they examine the flat, above all because of their co-tenant’s health and maintenance of the apartment, utility services and rent which all the neighbours have been paying for the late woman for years.

- I honestly don`t know why nobody has broken into the apartment. We requested it so many times, but nobody listened to us – Horvatic told us, explaining that nobody wanted to break into the apartment on their own as it is other people`s property.

Hedviga`s body lied on the bed in the half-lit room

However, the apartment`s ownership status was supposed to have been regulated this year, therefore president of the tenants’ organisation Sime Ungar broke into the apartment yesterday around 4 o`clock with two other neighbours.

Very weird, they were bothered enough to carry on paying her share of the bills but never went to check on her.

I think one word would describe the problem ....."Socialism".

The government should have done something, it's their resonsibility, not mine....DUmmie mode off

......and I'm off to check on the elderly lady down the road. Thanks for the reminder.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
