A 91-year-old woman was discovered dead in her apartment over the weekend - but police say she had passed away in 2015. Munich police reported on Tuesday that the 91-year-old woman was discovered after a neighbour told them he had not seen her in a long time. When officers arrived at her home and opened the door, they found her dead. It is not unknown for elderly people to be discovered long after their death in Germany and other European countries - a phenomenon attributed to the lack of neighbourliness in modern societies. In 2014 in Iserlohn, North Rhine-Westphalia, an elderly man lay dead for weeks in his apartment before being found.
