A “Simple” Method of Body Disposition – Do Nothing?

A woman, Hedviga Golik, has recently been found in her apartment in Zagreb, Croatia 35 years after she died.  During these past decades, no one noticed that she was missing.  Her neighbors recently broke into her apartment in their attempt to lay claim to it and were surprised to see her mummified body in her bed.

Since she died in 1973, the windows of her apartment were open which kept the odor of her decaying body in check. Some of her neighbors claimed that she had discussed going overseas.
