When the INPS officials rang his door several times in vain, no one answered. Suspicious, they called for help and together with the health workers and the local police entered the apartment.

There they found the mummified corpse of the woman, an old woman born in 1933, and her cat.

The incredible story took place in the center of Trieste and according to the findings the woman would have been dead for years.

In fact, the corpse was unrecognizable. The old woman had only one sister, with whom, however, relations had been interrupted for some time.

An indicative date of death can be traced back to the food products found inside the house, which expired in 2018.
