Answer

Why do lonely deaths sometimes go unnoticed in Mallorca apartments?

In Mallorca, especially in places with many second homes and long-term rentals, a person can remain unnoticed if there is no regular contact with neighbours, relatives or landlords. Privacy rules also limit when someone can enter a flat or check on a tenant, so concern may only arise after signs such as a strong smell or repeated unanswered calls.
