An 89 year-old Edinburgh woman was found dead in her flat FIVE YEARS after she died.
The body was found after a downstairs neighbour reported water dripping through the ceiling to the local council. Officers had to fight through piles of unopened mail behind her front door to get into the flat where they discovered her badly decomposed remains.
Police believe the woman was never reported missing because her pension and bills were all set up to be paid and debited electronically.
How well do you know YOUR neighbours? Would you notice if one went missing or DIED?

The most shocking aspect of this sorry tale is that it's been covered by the Mail - an institution that has probably done more than anything else to undermine community interaction and encourage the insular, isolationist view of others at the root of this.

This type of thing is what 'Death on the Stairs' by The Libertines is all about. Nightmare.
