German man found 5 years after he died
November 20, 1998
Reuters
BONN -- A dead German sat in front
of his television set for five years, the
lights on his Christmas tree flashing
beside him, and none of his neighbors
noticed.
"Someone said once that he had gone
off to a home; I didn't ask any more,"
said Monika Majarres, who lived in
the same Hamburg block of flats as
Wolfgang Dircks, a divorced,
disabled loner who died in 1993 at
age 43.
The two neighbors on his floor only
moved in four years ago and had
never seen Dircks, a former toolmaker
who had reportedly threatened to
whip anyone who asked about him.
Other tenants in the 18-flat block
minded their business. Bild
newspaper said on Thursday the dead
man's letter box, which might have
raised an alarm when it overflowed,
had been emptied every now and then,
though no one knows by whom.
The landlords came knocking only
after the bank account from which
Dirck's rent and bills were paid ran
dry.
Beside the broken television set and
the still twinkling tree they found his
skeleton -- his TV listings magazine
still on his lap and open on the page
for Dec. 5, 1993.
