Due to the slightly fantastic nature of this story (I know, dumb ass here believed that the dead woman story is real... I still think it is, actually), I ended up looking up "George Turklebaum" in google, and apparently this article was passed around all over back in 2001, and was reported as factual by the British press. It was revealed in 2004 that the story was actually an excerpt taken from Weekly World News, nicely played, limeys, nicely played.
George Turklebaum , R.I.P.
Snopes
If you do a google search on hedviga golik (the woman that died in her apartment unfound 42 years ago), You'll find that CNN reported her death only about 35 years ago, and that there's been no report of her being missing. CNN is the only news source that made that statement, though, so who knows if that's true or not.
Ok, looking up the next article it goes into detail about the woman's life before her death, and it looks like she died on her bed, not watching TV, god damn it, internet, is there anything you say that I can trust?
Thanks, Stacy.
