Golik was a former nurse, originally from Rijeka, who lived in the Medveščak neighborhood of Zagreb, near square. She resided in an 18 m2 one-room attic apartment, isolated from the lower floors of the four-storey building since 1961. Her last place of employment was at Trešnjevka's community health center. The flat was provided by the building's superintendent, who was formerly her boyfriend, Hinković. Both were Jehovah's Witnesses and it was reported that Hinković had been involved in the construction of the building, having received the attic apartment in lieu of payment. She was known to have a sister, who worked as a school teacher in Zagreb, but they reportedly broke off contact due to quarreling.

Career, Business, and Investments
Hedviga Golik was reportedly a former nurse. There is no information available on any business ventures or investments she might have had.
Her neighbor Katica Carić described Golik as eccentric and prone to mood swings. She switched between being quiet and reclusive, and extremely belligerent and hectic. She never socialized with other tenants, but was known for yelling at people for any reason and aimlessly running around the street. She often had angry outbursts even when she was helped and it was suspected that Golik was schizophrenic. Carić ran errands for her, such as buying groceries, but they never talked, as Golik would not leave her floor, instead lowering a bucket with money and a written list down the stairs, with the items to be dropped off on Golik's doorstep. Golik often left for extended periods, during which time she rented the apartment out to others. Carić was claimed to have last seen Golik outside her apartment in company of two or three young men, the date being quoted as either 1963, 1967, or 1973.
The time of death was initially believed to be in 1973. The Institute of Forensic Medicine and Criminalistics conducted the autopsy, concluding that she most likely died during a cold season and that the isolated position of the apartment allowed the decomposition to go unnoticed until mummification set in. While the windows of the apartment were found open, deputy institute representative Davor Strinović said that the smell of rot should have been noticeable during the early stages, which neighbours claimed only became noticeable when the apartment was unlocked. A police spokesperson stated "So far, we have no idea how it is possible that someone officially reported missing so long ago was not found before in the same apartment she used to live in". The electricity was not turned off in the roughly 40 years since Golik's death. The bill was regularly paid by the original architect of the building, also residing in Zagreb, who died in 2005.
Social Network
Hedviga Golik passed away before the widespread use of social media, so there is no relevant social network presence to report.

Conclusion
Hedviga Golik's story is a poignant reminder of the mysteries and uncertainties that can surround human life.

Despite the lack of detailed information about her personal life, her case remains a fascinating and somber topic of discussion.
