Italian recluse taken from apartment after 26 years

MILAN (Reuters) - When Italian health officials came to remove a woman from the apartment she has not left in more than two decades they had to don respirators against the stench, newspapers reported Sunday.

The woman, named only as "Carmela," was in her late 50s, weighed about 30 kg (66 pounds) and had hair two metres (seven feet) long when officials came to take her to hospital, La Repubblica, Il Giorno and La Stampa newspapers reported.

Firefighters and health officials in Macerata, a city about 200 km (120 miles) northeast of Rome, found the apartment's windows sealed with adhesive tape and the shutters jammed shut.

A bout of influenza 26 years ago terrified Carmela so much that she tried to seal herself off from germs by barricading herself in her home, the papers said.

Her plight came to the attention of Italian authorities after her brother, who leaves tinned food outside her front door, called police to say that upcoming medical treatment would prevent him from carrying on.

"Adamo" has not seen his sister in 10 years, La Republicca reported.

Carmela's main contact with neighbors has been to shout a single message through her door.

"Shut the window on the landing!"

i bet that apartment smelled like a monkey cage

Peace to All creatures great and small............................................

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

... but why would her brother be charged with anything?

Because he knew.. he should have reported her.

His lawyer claims his only crime was being too sensitive to his sister's wants. He also argues that the brother wasn't the only one who knew she was in there....
