Women dead in front of TV for 42 years

This story sounds like a bunch of bologna to me, but what the heck, figured I'd post it anyway.  I find it hard to believe that no one would have checked her RESIDENCE when looking for a missing person.

THE remains of a woman have been found sitting in front of her TV - 42 years after she was reported missing.

Hedviga Golik, who was born in 1924, had apparently made herself a cup of tea before sitting in her favourite armchair in front of her black and white television.
Today seems like a good day to burn a bridge or two

CNN and others have picked up the story too, but with varying details. Sounds like a fake.

42 years ago, she said "Noe, tell me a story." the rest is history.
Often wrong, but never in doubt.
