Family's shock and anger after schizophrenic woman was found in a 'mummified state' after lying dead in her flat for four years
A severely mentally ill and disabled woman was left lying dead in her flat for four years before someone discovered her in a "mummified, almost skeletal" condition, according to reports.Laura Winham, who was schizophrenic, wrote on her calendar "I need help" shortly before she died, but no one from social services or anyone else in her support network checked in on her.
She had reportedly asked her family to stay away out of fear for their safety, as she heard voices in her head telling her to harm them. Ms Winham is thought to have died in 2017, although the cause of death is unclear. She had a condition called Goldenhar Syndrome, a rare congenital condition that causes abnormal development of the ear, eye and spine. She had struggled with her mental health since her early teenage years.
'We never believed, for one second, we would end up finding her dead on her floor having laid there for so long without anyone knowing."
