An 85-year-old woman was found dead under a large Christmas tree in central Boden on December 19, reports The Express.
The tree under which she was found stands in the square Medborgarplatsen.
– Now this was a very dense spruce, and it was dense all the way down to the ground, so when you see how it looks, it’s not really that strange, says Anette Krig, head of preliminary investigations at the police, to the newspaper.
The last time the woman was seen alive was on December 13. On December 18, she was reported missing.
The police suspect that the woman may have been under the tree for several days before she was found.
– Everything points to the fact that she has been there since Tuesday when she was last seen alive. We have no indications that she has been anywhere else between the time she disappeared and the time she was found, says Anette Krig.

Now that the snow and wind are blowing outside, it suits me to surf around and plan the spring plantings! Think how much money you save by cultivating yourself for the whole year’s use. Now I have the privilege of having my own land, but in the past I have had to cultivate a plot of land both with relatives and friends. Take care of the people and then enjoy what you have grown.

It is not only infants who are at risk of becoming seriously ill from the RS virus, even the elderly >65 years of age can be severely affected. Why is nothing mentioned about it. The weekly report from the Public Health Authority on the number of cases is terrible.
26% of them are >65 years and older.
Emergency care is hard hit!
Stay home if your child is sick, is my advice. Don’t go to work and leave a sick child with grandparents…
Emergency
Why do you go to the emergency room if you have the flu?
How was it with the thing where you are they if in the past you get sick call 1177 in the first place and ask for advice. Hope our evening and weekend ends like they had at some health centers will come back.
Ingalena Eriksson
Hey! You’re right about 1177. The regions still urge people to first call 1177 for advice and guidance – unless it’s a life-threatening case.
Martin Melin very dear. Reading value????
