Almost Unbelievable...lady Lay Dead In Flat For 6 Years !

If she lay in a room with the open windows that opened onto the garden area the smell would dissipate and certainly by last summer, decomposition would have been so far advanced, hence no smell to speak of - I am not trying to lighten the horror of this at all.
the facts seem to point to a cardiac arrest and the poor dear lady likely died very quickly indeed, I think we feel for the indignity of her lying there so long.
Again sad indeed.

I suppose we know most of our neighbours at least to 'nod to'.
Yesterday I visited the house in a London suburb where a young relative (33) died unexpectedly last June.
I stood outside for a while thinking about her and noticed a middle aged woman in the next door garden; "excuse me, did you know the young lady who lived next door last year?"
"No, I never met her" was the reply.
Made it seem even more sad somehow

I will look forward to that DB. When my mother died in 1996, her and Dad had been divorced for years and she had remarried. But her remarriage always played on Dads mind and he was continually asking myself and my brothers questions. Dad and New Husband did accidently bump into each other, in a local Pub and fists were thrown.
When she was buried, both Dad and her new husband attended at the grave. As the oldest son, I was nominally in charge of funeral arrangements and fearing trouble, I put Dad in the care of some of my bigger cousins and gave the other bigger ones the responsibility of looking after her new husband. We kept them apart right up until the time when she was lowered into the grave and then a scuffle broke out. I was mortified but the Parish Priest, from the same village as my Dad back in Ireland, calmly separated the two and carried on. Apparently he boxed for his county as a young man.

This was the story in our local paper yesterday. It is a horrifying story and a shameful reflection of modern society but these days, older people especially are practically invisible to those around them whose lives are too busy to notice their neighbours. http://
so why did the car vanish....whatever the reason, the fact that it seems to have happened at the same time as she died means this was an unlucky coincidence that misled people, not necessarily a sign of man's inhumanity to man.
Not that I'd have the slightest idea if any of my neighbours died, nor the reverse. I know them to say hello to, but I don't visit twice a week to check their pulses.

Why is there any obligation to know your neighbours? I don't think living within a short distance from someone means you have to become friends bor have any responsibility towards each other; I don't understand this mentality at all.
We do know our neighbours, more because thry made an effort with us than vice versa and we're not ignorant enough to be rude to people being polite., however nodding terms would havd been fine with me.
I find thesd sorts of threads lamenting how no one noticed sanctimonious, some of these people found dead years later could also be antisocial misery guts just like me :-)

I doubt the smell lasts six years! Or the body.

Two windows were open, the lady may have died in winter (less fly activity as such), do we have an obligation? (I'm not sure you can put it like that) she wasn't a disabled or sickly person by all accounts and neighbours at the time thought she had moved out.
As said I have good neighbours younger and older than me also in the past had ones that told me rudely where to go if I offered to help (still did it) but an obligation ?? Hmmmm
