Her door was ajar and had been for hours. I knocked on it, there was no answer so I pushed and stuck my head inside.
I saw the body at once and called 999. She looked dead but the emergency service telephone operator talked me through a recusitation attempt.
She was frail, middle-aged; her life had delivered one too many blows and she was unable to look after herself. She was a heavy drinker. The flat was a filthy mess.
The paramedics confirmed she'd died hours before and the police sealed off the area. Today they said they think she died of natural causes.
She had no family that anyone knows of and just about no-one to mourn her.
