Woman’s body found in her UK flat 3 years after death, her diary said she was ‘starving’

Laura Winham, a 38-year-old deaf woman with schizophrenia, was found dead in her Woking flat after laying unnoticed for over three years. Despite her family’s concerns and her diaries indicating severe starvation, social and mental health services failed to intervene effectively. Changes in council policies have been implemented since her tragic death.
