An elderly woman was found dead in her third floor apartment in urban Cologne, Germany. The apartment was very clean except of the bath room in which a bath tub had been filled with water and clothing. Apart from larvae, exclusively dead adult flies were found spread on the floor and on a window sill.
Note that the eyes are intact whilst the lower part of the body is partially decayed due to influence of faces and urine/bacteria. Upper part of body mummified.
Dead flies on window sill as indicators of neglect:
The minimum interval of around 3 weeks would have been a misconduct of the paid professional care giver who was supposed to check on the women every week. The care giver, however, claimed that she had called on the women every 2 weeks to check on her but the now dead women allegedly rejected any visits. This possibility could not be ruled out.
