Hedviga Golik made herself a cup of tea and sat down to watch some television in her home town 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.
What’s absurd is that she was in fact reported missing, but somehow no one ever checked her apartment, which leads me to believe no one checked anywhere. I mean, where else do you look for someone when they’re missing? I don’t understand it. Her neighbours apparently just assumed she moved out of her apartment, and she was finally found when the police broke in to figure out who owned the place.
A police spokesman said: “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.”
Well, that’s unsettling. [DailyRecord; img]

I’m betting that the power would have been cut off a long time ago.

Very sad indeed – It doesn’t make sense, like others have said, bill collectors would be chasing for money, power surely must’ve got cut off, and what’s more, isn’t Zagreb the Capital city of Croatia!! How could this happen – RIP
