Body Found in Santa Catalina: When an Entire Neighborhood Didn't Notice

Answer

Why can a death go unnoticed for weeks in a busy Mallorca neighbourhood?

A busy street scene does not always mean close personal contact. In places like Santa Catalina, people may see each other daily at shops or cafés without knowing whether a neighbour is alone or unwell. If someone has few regular contacts and no one checks in, a serious problem can remain hidden for longer than expected.
