The Telegraph reports:
A woman's skeleton was discovered in her flat three years after she is believed to have died, it emerged today.Read it here.Joyce Vincent was surrounded by Christmas presents and the television and heating in her bedsit were still on.
The 40-year-old's body was so decomposed that the only way to identify her was to compare dental records with a holiday photograph.
Police believe she probably died of natural causes in early 2003, and was only found in January this year when housing association officials broke into the bedsit in Wood Green, North East London.
They were hoping to recover the thousands of pounds of rent arrears that had piled up since her death.
In a "flat", three years! She had neighbors all around her, and the TV was still on! And nobody noticed? C'mon.
Apartment manager Norman Bates could not be reached for comment.
