How is this possible?

I found this article and found it shocking. Some lady died in front of her tv 42 years ago and no one noticed until now! 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."

First of all, the situation is pretty sad because obviously she didn't have any family or friends that performed much of a search when she went "missing." Secondly, how can someone die in an apartment complex without anyone knowing for 42 years? Unbelievable.

No way? I went and read the article - if they reported her missing why wouldn't they have checked her apartment, secondly who would have paid property tax, bills etc from her flat, and third, what would have happened to all her mail, the stench, etc etc etc. Has to be some sort of a hoax... too weird, and if it is true, her family has issues not to have checked her house when she went missing...

This is absolutely bizarre. I find it hard to imagine she could have been there for 42 years with all the comments above going unpaid, unnoticed. Crazy that this was absolutely published. Wow. If true, makes me want to be a better neighbor...
