Concerned that they have not received a message from their relative for a long time, a woman’s relatives reacted to the prolonged silence and came to visit the seniors at her residence. Having received no response to repeated knocks, the family members sought help from the emergency services to open the door of the apartment.
“The firemen came, it can be seen that there was a break-in. What’s there, the relatives couldn’t get in, there’s everything, because it happened quickly and… [DP: Vienkārši sieviete pazuda?] I do not know. [DP: Bet tur nekas nedega?] No. They just broke down the door. Medics, police, firefighters are there. Quietly, calmly. I went out again, looked, I thought something was burning on that side. No,” says the resident.
Neighbors say that the woman loved to light a candle at home before Sundays, which is why there was concern that the apartment might have been smoky. In a conversation with another resident of the neighboring apartment, “Degpunktā” found out that the reason for such a sudden presence of rescuers and police officers at the address is more tragic – she is dead.
A resident of the 3rd floor, coming out of her apartment in the stairwell, says that the woman lived alone in her apartment and her living conditions were not the best.
“It is said that there is a bad apartment there. I have heard this from the neighbors, that I think there is a social apartment there. So those who own that apartment were a disadvantaged family,” says the resident of the building.

The law enforcement officers inform that it was the lady’s son who, being concerned about his mother’s health, tried to contact her. It is likely that the sudden death of the woman was caused by some health problems.
If you know that there are also lonely seniors living in your house, try to find an opportunity to approach them and look after them. If a neighbor has not been seen for a long time, pay attention to signs that may indicate that help is needed. For example, if the TV plays in the apartment at night or the light is on during the daylight hours, maybe the window is open for a long time in cold weather – these are just some indications that rescuers may need to be involved.
