Italy was hit hard by covid with so many people dying. I've heard Italy has a lot of older people, many who smoke and many overweight which attributed to this.
According to local Italian news media per decedent's personal physician she suffered from high blood pressure for many years.

Are we becoming that bad as a society? So bad that we don't notice that a neighbor hasn't been seen for weeks, months and years? And if we did suspect something was out of order, would we do something about it? How long would that take us before convincing ourselves it was none of our business?

This calls for a lot of self-examination, maybe.

This is very sad indeed.

Mail did pile up, grounds were not maintained...

Thing to remember in many European cultures people tend to mind their own business, or otherwise not get involved with matters that don't directly concern themselves.

2 years of Covid stay at home orders. There will likely be more of these forgotten souls found passed away inside their homes.

Or, if sitting upright, once dead there wasn't any sort of "weight" or other forces to cause body to lean and fall off chair onto floor.

Not long after death sphincter and bladder muscles will go releasing bodily fluids. If those are allowed to harden and dry, then corpse will be "stuck" to chair or whatever until moved. Not exactly glued to spot, but again unless some force is applied that body isn't going just fall over.
My staring at the computer chair is a DXRacer. I've dozed off in it and not fallen off.

Or utility bills

Or the mail building up

Or the odor

Covid hit northern Italy especially hard and many left their homes.

How easy it would be for middle and high schools to have adopt a grandma/ grandpa thing.

They shouldn't put HS kids in charge of doing well "grandparent" checks on the elderly. That's an adult's job.
