Joyce Carol Vincent was 38 years old when her decomposed body was found in her bedsit in Wood Green, London, in 2006. She had been dead for almost three years and no one — family, friend or ex-colleague — had reported her as a missing person. How could it happen in this day and age?
Her sad and lonely death has been honoured by film-maker Carol Morley in her soon-to-be-released documentary Dreams of a Life.
