The badly decomposed remains of an 89-year-old woman were discovered in her flat five years after she died, police revealed today.
Isabella Purves' body was only found after a downstairs neighbour noticed water dripping through the ceiling of her tenement flat and reported it to the local council.

Officers forced their way into her flat, fighting through the piles of unopened mail which had gathered behind her front door, before making the gruesome discovery.

It is thought nobody noticed Miss Purves was missing as her pension was paid directly into a bank account and bills were paid by direct debit.

Shocking!

Very true. Also, people, friends and relatives never forget you as long as you have money.

There are many people in the world that are left alone and, in fact, prefer to be left alone. This may be the story of one such person.

Some of us may consider this sad....others may say that she lived without any help from anyone and when her time came she was gone.

Sometimes I think that we put entirely too much emphasis on the whole ritualistic funeral thing.
