How did a woman lie dead in her home for TWO AND A HALF YEARS without a single person noticing?

This story is so horrific and sad.

How very sad. Died alone and not missed for over over two years! 😓 Surely her work.missed her 🤔

Syl · FIRM BUT FAIR.

What a caring society we live in.

''Beside her body were some deflated pink party balloons''.....that is heart breaking.

I wonder what the balloons were from. If a party, surely someone must-have wondered where she is. It's a mystery and a bloody disgusting part on those who are her!

Maybe it was her birthday and she was celebrating on her own. Could be she was murdered.

We have the police who are arresting people for posting on Twitter, local authorities who sack people for being 'transphobic', the NHS paying thousands for rainbow crossings, cancel culture baying for blood if you forget their pronouns, the banning of 'mum' in schools and then this sorry indictment of just how lost we've become as human beings.

This is kind of crazy.

What about her bills, mail, taxes, rent?

You know, there are likely more people like this than we know, but 2 and half years is crazy.

Vita · Know It All

When I was in hospital that time in October there was a woman who had no visitors.

Nobody phoned or handed in pyjamas or anything.

I asked if she had anyone to look after her when she went home and she just shook her head.

She had collapsed in the street, just say it had happened at home.

Apparently she paid her rent by direct debit until Aug 2019 and by March 2020 she was in arrears and received a court summons.

Records show from the April her rent was being paid by universal credit.

Apparently the landlord can apply to have that paid directly to him when the tenant defaults.

It seems because it happened during the Pandemic, debts weren't chased the way they usually are.

As for the postman, he just kept forcing the mail through the door.

The forgotten people....it's so sad.

When my mum died in an end of life care home, we were packing up her clothes, some were Christmas and birthday presents she had never worn.

We asked the carers if any of her nice things would help any of the residents. They said some ladies had been brought in months, even years ago, and had no family or friends visiting in all the time they were there.

Oh Syl so sad. How do these people end up so alone. I

When my nan was in a home my dad visited her all the time. I went often aswell. When he died it was just me. I went lots, I loved her.
Despite the fact she had a daughter, she never visited her because she lived an hours drive away.

I went every day, my OH came with me, our son went a lot....my sister didn't visit her once.

Some people have no thought, care or love for their parents.

You'd be surprised how many narcissistic adult children there are.

It's not just shitty kids.

I live around and know huge numbers of people that have never had kids, and never will at this point.

When I was raising my kids out in the burbs everyone had kids.

I didn't know about all these hip folks in the city that didn't have kids. They were just folks on TV shows to me.

I see these folks getting older now. I know a few who are retired now that could drop dead and we wouldn't miss them for a month or two.

I know plenty that will be there in about 10 years.

I also know some who think they have done the planet a great favor by not reproducing.

We'll see how that works out for them in the future when they start needing assistance..

Yeah but you don't have kids so you can be looked after in your old age.

Maybe not, but they sure can come in handy when you do.

But it's so much more than being looked after. It's holidays, birthdays and just hanging out.

I see a lot of lonely people that don't need looking after yet, but are just spending a great deal of time alone and or lonely.

We are in a strange place in the West. We have huge numbers of adults that have never reproduced. It's "unnatural" from a historical perspective.

I blame cars.
When I was a kid hardly anyone in my neighbourhood had a car, so everyone knew their neighbours, and neighbours became friends. Also people tended more to stay in the neighbourhoods they grew up in.

Now you can live in the same road for years and hardly see or speak to neighbours. No onw walks, everyone drives.
Even the kids round here dont speak to each other....it's an odd world.

We all had cars, but we spent more time outside and socializing with neighbors.

Folks also were more religious. That was a built in social place for a lot of people.

It is a weird word compared to the one I grew up in.

Ten houses either side of me had 2-5 kids that were outside a lot.

My residential street now has one house with 2 kids. The rest have no kids.

I talk to a few of neighbors, but I don't have their phone numbers and have never been inside of their homes.

In many ways we live in a better world. But not in all ways.

Yep....some things are better, but the sense of community people had back in the day has all but vanished.

Our streets was full of kids, when I was a kid, and also when my own son was small....pre computers, kids played out, rode bikes, all the parents knew each other.

I do have neighbours as friends, because they were here from the start, unfortunately, I hardly see any of the newer neighbours...they jump in their cars, 2 or3 per family....and you don't see them again for ages.
