When to suspect someone might of died?
There's an old lady who lives across the hall. Her apartment has been awfully quiet lately and I haven't seen her in a while or seen her lights on in her apartment. Today I noticed a strange odor in the hallway. The first thing that came to my mind is she died in her apartment and the odor from her rotting corpse is seeping into the hallway. Maybe I'm just crazy and she went on vacation somewhere. Should I suspect anything?
*Uh can someone move this to tilted living?*

Definitely call... even if she isn't there, the smell could be a leaky pipe or something in the apartment if she's on vacation or something.

Definately give someone a call. Either Landlord or cops. I was reasponsible for checking on our upstairs neighbor for my landlord at one point. It was his mother. Found her in the morning after she'd fallen and gotten her foot stuck under a book case. She ended up in the hospital for a week after that. I'm glad I was there to help her. The things that caught my attention before I went up to check on her that day - quiet, and a smell. That's all you need to be concerned about someone. If you call an authority it's not like you are trying to snoop. Just being a good concerned neighbor.

When I was in junior high school my best friend went to Kansas for the summer to visit her mom. While she was gone her dad died in the apartment. Had a stroke. No one saw him or heard him, but no one said anything until it was too late. He'd been dead three days before he was found. You should've talked to the landlord the minute you thought something was up. If you haven't already, do it now.

Right on, sillygirl.
The landlord has some small legal responsibility to keep his or her tenants safe. Checking on the elderly definitely falls under that, and I'm sure that there's a legal way for the landlord to enter the apartment if they get no response at the door. So have you talked to your landlord yet?! |

I'd like to know what happened, too. Perhaps someone should PM him or something? I dunno.
I mean, no offence to JP or anything, but I'd hate to be his neighbour if this is the extent of his giving a shit...

Our landlady is a very old woman who lives on the first floor of our three-flat, and she has a heart condition. Once we noticed we hadn't seen her in awhile right about rent time and we noticed the checks weren't getting cashed. We checked on her. She was ok, just hadn't gotten to the bank yet.
