i can't believe she could get away without paying rent for that long.
3 years?, that's nothing. Here in Holland they found a man who was dead for 9 years. Nobody missed his ass.
i was even first! without even trying OR posting just FIRST! now i suppose this one is third or fourth.
that's depressing! her sisters didn't even think anything was unusual? and yes, also strange that they waited three years to bust her for not paying rent.
yeah, how can you get away without payinmg rent and someone not notice....

isn't it great? I don't know why some people get so pissed off at the "first" people - my feeling is they've never BEEN first 
many people sitting in front of a t.v. have been brain-dead for years.
The housing association only started chasing the rent after three years? Yes, that sounds like my home town, for sure! Didn't anyone notice a smell?
How about the electric? They'd shut my shit off if I didn't pay for it.
mk is gay
I bet she liked "MacGyver" and "Matlock" too!
My guess: Facts of Life reruns did it.
Okay. She's placed in housing for victims of domestic violence. Next, nobody hears from her for three years. Finally, she's mostly skeleton.
Which, of course, leads to the obvious conclusion that there's nothing suspicious.
Utter morons. Remind me not to visit England. Because it's clear that their cops can't be bothered to investigate any pontential murders. And their bureaucrats can't be bothered to check up on their clients.
Maybe the rent was automatically cutt of from her wellfare. That's what happend with the guy in Holland, so that's why noboy noticed.
And the smell, well anyone wo lives in a house that has the bedroom in the living room, usually doesn't live in a clean, fresh neighborhood. So that explains that part.
yeah , i have a problem with the electricity still being on after that long....sounds fishy
I bet she liked "MacGyver" and "Matlock" too!

haha - Matlock is so sad... I saw an episode by accident recently and he is so OLD - howcome I never noticed that when I was a kid and my mom would watch that show?? I kept expecting him to drop dead any moment... The whole episode was all about him having some kind of ailment and being stuck in bed while his daughter did the work! Clearly, I tried to watch it... Oh dear...
They compared her dental records to photos??? WTF
WOW! 3 years and no one cared??? Geeeee, I'm moving there! Here in Vegas, you go 3 months and your electricity, gas, water and other utilities are cut off and you are booted out. Sweeeeeet, I can live rent free for 3 whole years!!!!! WOW! I can save tons of money!!!!!
Your mom...yes, MK is gay. How observant of you.
hmm, sounds quite unbelievable.
I wonder what were in the Christmas presents? Were they for her or for others from her?
Ohhh. Imagine what the stench must've been like.
First the Book bound in human skin and now this?
I love gothic.
Ohhh. Imagine what the stench must've been like.

I shudder to think especially with all the old food and shit in the fridge!
utterly morbid... and no neighbors missed her??? no realrives... 9 YEARS!!!! HOLLAND!! Stoners!!!
she had presents!!! and no one wanted her!
some culture they have there, family doesn't care.. Officials only checking on the elderly to get their money!
So sad. And it says she was just 40, and a domestic abuse victim? Wow, so sad.
regreta
she was only 40 years old, she must have been employed, so yeah, you got to wonder why she her employer didn't miss her, what about her family, too many questions arise here...
4o? Natural causes? What's really going on in England
I'm not the type to get all sentimental and shit, but this is so horribly sad. To think no one missed her for such a long period of time is very saddening.
And 3 years? I'd get 3 weeks before my apartment building would file payments, and maybe a few more days before I'm out on the curb
I don't buy it- like her power wouldn't have been turned off....just to begin with.....
Was her name Eleanor Rigby?
Yeah, and who was paying her cable bill, too?
Eleanor Rigby?
BAHAHAHA!
please....she croaked from watching too much of the crap shows they have on the telly over thah.Ever watch the UK version of Changing Rooms?
Urban "Crumpet" Myth.... methinks
40 years old and no one cared. Of course if she was placed in a shelter due to domestic abuse, her sisters may not even have known where she was. But this tragic, sad event is weirdly amusing... imagining a skeleton melted into the chair... with the TV RUNNING!
You would think the electric company would have noticed she wasn't paying her bills.
Her sisters and employeer should be ashmed!
This is a sad story to read about. 
wow, that is one awesome tv to run for 3 straight years.
thats sad....
i bet that house stank like a mofo.
This story is about a year old. They found her last year.
I know how she died. Someone stole a pair of Tara Reid's panties and threw them into this poor women's room.
How the hell could that happen? I'm guessing that's a bogus report.
This is very weird. In addition to the fact that the electricity was still on, the TV was too?? In Great Britain?? I am pretty sure they have to pay an annual tax there if they own a TV (to pay for BBC, etc.). They have arrested people who have refused to pay...so they somehow overlooked her for three years??
OK - enough with bashing the citizens of London because this poor woman wasn't found for 3 years. Yes, it is awful, but it happens everywhere.
I'm a Texan and just 2 years ago a woman was found in my in-laws' neighborhood in north Dallas. She'd been there long enough to MUMMIFY - so lay off the English. We're all guilty of being bad neighbors.
Woah. To think that the electric company didn't realise that she didn't get to pay her bills for 3 years...
I just had to laugh while reading that... A Skeleton watching TV for 3 years straight.
On the other hand it's a very sad & weird Story. No one cred about this person & the housing association only started chasing the rent after three years? What about electricity n' stuff? I don't think that could happen round here.
While I do not want to get into a battle with secede78704, most would hardly consider the state of Texas a shining example of care for the disenfranchised, given that it inevitably comes close to rock bottom nationally in terms of social services provided to its elderly and its poor by the state...the fact of the matter is that most of the Western European states have prided themselves on being more "caring" in regards to their poor, their elderly, and their marginalized...and that is precisely why this article is so striking.
wouldnt they turn the cable off when she stopped paying?
This story's old.
okay that is a crappy way to die. nothing horrible or disturbing.. just sad and pathetic lol. even funny. haha (is it bad that made me laugh lol)
Just to point out to everyone asking about the electricity and TV bills - if you pay by direct debit no-one ever checks until a payment is missed. Plus judging on the welfare system in this country things never get double-checked. She could have been paid by the government the whole time!!
thats an entertaining story, hella funny, but i don't think there's too much truth to it...its one thing her not getting evicted and all, but for the electricity and heat to still be on?? it couldn't have been 3 years...with heat blasting in the summer months, and NO ONE SMELLED ANYTHING SUSPECT? that's horseshit...
i think there is some truth, like they found a dead woman, and she hadn't recently passed, but she wasn't a skeleton either, and some of the shit must have been shut off in that place, c'mon now, these journalists have to sell a story no?
HOLY CREIKY!
my dad fuckin loves Jag. I guess I better call his ass on a regular basis...
Thanks Anonymous 2:30AM - but after giving shelter and food to thousands of displaced Hurricane Katrina victims you'll be hard-pressed to make the argument that the Lone Star State is some cold, heartless no-man's land.
And remember, George Bush was born in Connecticut - he just wants to pretend he's a Texan (like eveyone else).
If you don't want to get into an argument then don't shit talk Texas. You'll lose every time.

Fuckin A!
secede78704
I know I've already voiced my support for your comment, but I just have to tell you that that's the first thing to put a smile on my face all morning.
they found some woman in dallas who had died like years before too
Thanks for representin, Morticia.
MK, you are are so freaking silly 
!!!! Walker Texas Ranger...just thinking about that show raises my blood pressure to a dangerous level.
You know what's so fucked up about that...the fact she was surrounded by Christmas presents but not one of those fake ass bitches who gave her gifts can have really cared about her since they left her to rot for 3 years.
I am only 10 days late and they threaten to cut my shit off , where is this magical place where you can get away without payin shit , cause I am packin mah shit and movin right the fuck now , but seriously like someone prior to me said , thats impossible for the lights and TV to be running after 3 years .. or is it
Did anyone mention that Texas sucks? Because I hear it does...
whylie | 04.14.06 - 11:18 am
Here'a thought, Go Fuck yourself. I was born and raised in the Lone Star state and while I love to travel, there isnt anything like coming home to Texas, and Austin. Show me a state with more pride, I dare you.
I live in North Dallas and I haven't heard about that dead lady. Please tell me about it (if you remember any details) secede7870!
Everyone,call on your neighbours,see if they're ok!!I'm not,knock on my neighbours doors and i'm gonna get bitchslapped or shot
Walker told me I have AIDS.

But after searching around on the DMN's website for "mummified" (I know, kinda sick) it seems as though another woman was found in the White Rock area pretty recently. Very, very sad that we've come so far from being neighbors!

Everyone else wants to pretend to be from TEXAS???!!! WTF???
ONLY an IGNORANT Texan would come up with this.
No honey, everyone else wants to pretend to be an original New Yorker or Los Angelino - Texas is way too redneck for the rest of us.
In the words of the wise Mr. Hubbard:
SCREW YOU, WE'RE FROM TEXAS
I'd love to stay and chat, but I, along with the 21 million rest of us, have to go make up for the rest of you shitty, lifeless, boring chumps.
Actually, if she was there to be protected from domestic violence, her boyfriend/husband probably came in and killed her. Now they'll never know; unless they do some serious "Cold Case" shit. How sad.
