PARIS (BNO NEWS) -- An elderly woman was freed by firefighters after being trapped in her bathroom for nearly three weeks, local media reported on Wednesday.

The 69-year-old woman for 20 days was trapped in the bathroom of her Paris suburb apartment in Epinay-sous-Senart after the door's lock broke.

In the bathroom, the elderly woman survived off of warm tap water. She began striking the bathroom pipes in order to try to alert her neighbors, but they thought repair work was being done in the apartment.

However, neighbors became concerned after not seeing the woman for several days, noticing that her mail had not been picked up in several days. They alerted local authorities, and firefighters finally broke into the bathroom on Friday.

The woman is currently in a "weakened state," but recovering well in a hospital.
