True Horror: Woman's Corpse Found in Apartment After 35 Years of Rotting

Jul. 8 10:59 AM by Eater of Entrails

Just like the infamous "sloth" scene from the movie Se7en, except worse because this is real.

It took a staggering 35 years for the neighbors of Hedviga Golik to figure out that the reason the Croatian woman had not left her apartment (or made a sound for that matter) was because she was dead, decomposing for almost four decades. While forensics were able to determine that the woman died in 1973, they couldn't say what the cause of Golik's death was given her advanced state of putrefaction, stating that "it's almost impossible to say for certain."

Mrs. Golik's window was also found to be left open all these years which reveals why the stench of her remains had not prompted her neighbors to notice something was wrong earlier.

Totally unbelievable! I wonder if it was a condo or something.. you would think that the landlord would be wanting his rent check after all those years.

 

Awesome. Looks like we can chalk up another drawback to Communism. There was no one around to price her out of her apartment and divide it up into smaller ones. You can bet in NYC they would have taken her body and left it on the stairs to make room for luxury condos.

 

35 years? Good grief - I know people that are less than 35 years old who already look dead - so imagine the rot work after nearly 4 decades. HOLY...

 

How does nobody notice that? Nobody leaves an apartment for 35 years and nobody notices? Like someone else said, someone must have been waiting for the rent

 

You'd figure the mailman would notice.

 

Sheeee-eesh. This is less Se7en and more CSI!

 

Holy guacamole! These True Horror posts are better than watchin horror films.

This one's the craziest so far.

 

yikes

probably wouldn't make a good horror flick though

 

This one's the craziest so far.

I have to disagree with you there, gore. Killer vomit man was way crazier than this.
