Workmen in Moscow have discovered the skeleton of a man who died five years ago in his room in a Moscow communal apartment. The neighbors who shared the flat apparently never noticed that he was gone. Russian communal apartments, or "kommunalki," often hold five or six families in a single flat, with residents sharing the kitchen and bathroom. Police were mystified that a man could die and spend five years rotting in an apartment filled with people.
