Daniel died alone
Loneliness is a big problem in swedish society and may old people die alone without any
relatives being present.Daniel,a 56 year old man orinally from Argentina lay dead in his flat at Bagarmossen ,a surburb in the south of Stockholm for two years without anybody missing him.
Nobody knows exactly when he died because he simply disappeared without friends,relatives or work mates missing him.
He lived on a small disability pension that went directly into his bank account. The rent and other bills were paid by direct debit.His body was discovered only when a real estate company forced
open his door in order to make some renovations.
For more than 30 years ago, Daniel was a young man of 20 years.Together with his wife Susanna and their parents, he came from the military dictatorship in Argentina to Sweden in the late 1970s.Daniel and Susanna had no children and divorced in 1981. Shortly after the divorce Susanna lefty Sweden.
There are gaps in the Swedish population register, but Daniel's father Juan should have returned to Argentina in 1991 where he died in 1997. Daniel's mother Maria Rosa remained in Sweden with her son. Five years ago, she died at a nursing home in Jakobsberg north of Stockholm. After her mother's death seems to Daniel social contacts have ceased completely.
“It is clear that he did not have a job the last years of his life,” according to a source.
Ahmed Jabbar lived next door to Daniel . He remembers a nice, quiet man who looked much older than his 55 years.
“He came alone here three years ago. We used to stand next to each other and smoke in the walkway. We said hello, that's all.Once I saw-him wander away alone with a fishing pole. But I never saw him with anyone.”
The last years of his life lived Daniel on some form of disability pension and all his fixed bills were paid by direct debit.
