Last year, a man in his 60s was found dead in an apartment block east of Oslo. The man had been dead for nine years, police told NRK.
– We have thought about it a lot, colleagues and people who have worked with this for many years. This is a special case, and it makes us wonder how it could happen, Police Chief Grete Lien Metlid in the Oslo Police tells NRK.
Based on findings in the apartment, police assume the man died in April 2011.
The invisible
The man was found when a caretaker entered the apartment in connection with maintenance work. The autopsy showed that the man died of natural causes.
– Based on the image we have, it is obviously a person who has chosen to have little contact with others, says Lien Metlid.
You can’t point the finger at anyone for such cases to occur, says sociology professor Arne Krokan at NTNU.
– It’s a kind of dusty responsibility. In a way, it’s the price we’ve paid to get digital services, says Krokan.
