Volunteers from ZAKA, an Israeli emergency response organization, discovered the body of a man in his late 70s in his Holon apartment on Sunday night. The man had apparently been deceased for an extended period. Family members alerted authorities after being unable to reach him by phone for several days, prompting them to call emergency services to his residence on Hahistadrut Street.
ZAKA volunteers worked at the scene to preserve the dignity of the deceased and assisted police forensic teams. The body was subsequently transferred to the National Institute of Forensic Medicine for further investigation into the circumstances of his death.
Yechiel Goldman, a ZAKA field commander, stated that the organization handled three similar cases overnight involving individuals found long after their deaths. He urged the public to remain attentive to the elderly, particularly those living alone, emphasizing that a phone call can save a life.
