Decomposed bodies of 3 people, including Holocaust survivor, found

The Zaka emergency service says it has found three bodies in advanced states of decomposition today, in separate incidents.

In Petah Tikva, the body of an 82-year-old Holocaust survivor is located in her apartment, with her death apparently going unnoticed for some time.

In Beersheba, a 58-year-old woman’s remains are found “in a state of decay.”

In Ma’alot, another man’s body is found in his home, it says.

Another case, a 60-year-old man in Ashdod, was reported yesterday.

All apparently lived alone.

“We must stop this silent plague. Pay attention to your neighbors, at least once a day, to save their lives,” says Zaka.
