Original Title: TIL that Hedviga Golik, a Croatian nurse, died alone in her apartment in 1966. Her body remained undiscovered for 42 years until found in 2008 during renovations. Neighbors never reported her missing, and her electricity was paid by the building’s architect until shortly before her body was found.
