I was reading this article (http://news.excite.com/news/r/011101/08/odd-corpse-dc) about a woman in Germany that was dead in her apartment for 10 months before anybody found her missing. It goes on to say:
Germany regularly has cases where a body is not discovered until weeks, months or even years after the person has died, a phenomenon sociologists say is symptomatic of an industrial and increasingly cold and anonymous society.
In a particularly striking case, a Hamburg man sat dead on his sofa in front of his television for five years before he was found.
Five years! Makes you glad that you've got some friends that will call once in a while.
