That is truly sad. The woman was so alone in this world that no one ever noticed her departure from this earth, all alone and undisturbed for 35 years. May her soul be at peace and may she be surrounded by the ones who truly loved her, wherever her soul has taken her. J.
I'd say people must've been pretty damned alienated 35 years ago if no one from THEN noticed she wasn't around anymore...
Actually, I don't know. It probably depends on how the body was situated. If it were mostly covered in a cold, dark room, it might take a lot longer to decompose than if it were, say, laying in a full bathtub exposed to bright sunlight. But, no matter what, I'm sure that after 35 years, the smell is completely gone. Everything in the body that can decompose will have in that length of time, and the vapors given off have long since dissipated.
It's not that exactly, it's just that people dying alone has always bothered me. This doubly so because she was never noticed until now, 35 years later. J.
Something like this is probably my greatest fear - that I'll end up so alone that nobody will notice if I'm gone. Though I suppose once that fear could come to fruition, I wouldn't exactly be worrying about it.
Eh, I've always seen myself dying alone. Much better than going out in my sleep only to leave the wife to find me cold and after rigor has set in when she wakes up.
Well. That's certainly fucked up. If she had been in a cryogenic chamber like Fry in Futurama, those wars, people, sunrises and sunsets would have flown by the window. But no... she just laid there missing it.
My mother's husband fell asleep in the chair one afternoon. When she went over to wake him up before dinner, she realized he was dead. Yea, she freaked out, first, then grieved.
She didn't smell so bad because the circumstances were right to turn her into one big strip of human jerky.
I'm mostly fixing on how the neighbors broke in because they thought the appartment should belong to them, and now they think they should split it up between them. Where the fuck do they get off thinking this shit?
When will the Croatian president and harvest goddess feast on the dead woman's remains, as is the European custom?
They probably thought it had been abandoned since the days of being state owned--as it, in fact, had been--and that no one had an ownership claim on it, so why not them?
