Mieke Attends Neighbor's Funeral Alone as House Swarms with Flies
Mieke de Kok from Nijmegen discovered her elderly neighbor dead after detecting a rotting odor, becoming the sole attendee at his funeral. The situation left her home infested with green bottle flies due to the uncleared body and food remnants. Housing corporation Portaal explained that police must first clear the scene before cleaning can begin, which started on September 17 with specialized crews. De Kok expressed sadness over the isolation of her neighbor’s death and questioned why action was not taken sooner, while Portaal acknowledged the unpleasantness for neighbors and noted the floor will need replacement before re-renting.
