The badly decomposed body of Isabella Purves, who would have been 90 this year, was found by police earlier this week. Officers forced their way into her flat in the Canonmills area of Edinburgh after a neighbour reported water dripping through the ceiling. They had to fight their way through piles of unopened mail behind her front door. It is thought her pension was paid directly into a bank account and utility bills were paid by direct debit. Police are trying to trace her relatives. Neighbours in Rodney Street spoke of their horror at the discovery. Giovanni Cilia, who owns the Fioritalia florist below Ms Purves's traditional tenement flat, said he was shocked at how long it took to find her. He said: "How did no one notice the smell, or wonder where she was? I heard there was a big pile of letters and bills behind the door. I used to see her walk past the shop maybe four times a week. She would often go across the street and pick up litter to clean the place up." Mr Cilia, who has run the shop for 20 years, added: "It's shocked everyone here. When I saw her she looked quite fit and healthy for her age. "She used to wear boots and would often carry a rucksack like she enjoyed going for walks." Douglas McLellan, of Age Concern and Help the Aged in Scotland, said it was a "tragic case". here Lol! And no one realised this!?

I try to spread the Holy Word because I care about where others end up... and here they think I'm "forcing" stuff on them. no, I just don't want anyone to be separated from God for eternity. What good comes from atheists trying to turn Christians away from God? None. They do it because they think of themselves as gods (funny thing is no human I've ever met has been worthy of worship) and they get satisfaction in it. Christians try to get atheists to turn to God because they're afraid from them. haha *waits to be flamed* Kaijuu Posted at 11:16 am on July 4, 2009 That's really sad :[ Praise the Lard Posted at 11:16 am on July 4, 2009 http://www.javno.com/en-croatia/dead-body-lies-in-bed-for-41-years_148109 way cooler GoodFairy13 Posted at 11:14 am on July 4, 2009 I hope people realise if I die and don't leave me rotting away for five years. Clara Bell Posted at 11:14 am on July 4, 2009 That has to be fake How could the florist not realize what had happened, if one day the old lady just stopped walking past the shop, and never showed up again for five years? No one on her floor smelled her? Or realized that they never saw her again but there was no reason to believe she had moved away? Kaijuu Posted at 11:14 am on July 4, 2009 I feel bad for her. Corrupted Innocence Posted at 11:13 am on July 4, 2009 Omg how can nobody notice. This isn't the first case of something like this and it won't be the last EmilyAnn Posted at 11:13 am on July 4, 2009 That is soooooo horrible. How could no one notice?! Wouldn't her rotten body reek like no other?! Damn. Shameful. Sara2011 Posted at 11:13 am on July 4, 2009 that's more strange than anything.
