Nobody noticed when Joyce Vincent died in her bedsit above a shopping mall in North London in 2003. Her body wasn't discovered for three years, surrounded by Christmas presents she had been wrapping, and with the TV still on.

Amazing documentary.

Saw it on UK TV.

Tells you a lot about the myth of the urban area keeping an eye on neighbours, lonliness in modern networked England and probably the myth of multi-culturalism... latter point i can't recall - think she's half cast from memory. Even if she isn't - the way mass immigration has fucked up populated areas means it'll play a role.

A lot of my old friends were addicts and didn't even get to die alone under a roof.... don't see any film students or the BBC running to cover their stories.

The men around her were emotionally retarded. It was obvious in the last 2 years of her life that she was trying to settle down with a man. And her sisters? Something doesn't add up.

Maybe I need to refresh watch it then....

If this was a US based story given what you hint at - I'd immed assume some close relation had created a life insurance policy on her in the last year - it's ALWAYS a thing over there.

Most electric bills in bedsits are paid by the landlord.

Or no-one pays if you're doing what 23% of the English broke populous are doing these days and bypassing the meter....
