Very very sad. The neighbours seem to think she left the area but you'd think leaving the windows open would alert someone to check it out but obviously not in this case. Older people living alone need people to check on them more frequently or perhaps get one of those alarm things to wear around the neck or wrist linked up to a company.

Way back in my early 20's living in London sharing rooms in a large house, one of the sharers was a young artist who used to hide himself away for a few days at a time at the top of the house and it was only after noticing there were rather a lot of flies about that I decided to knock on his door, got no reply, tried a couple more times so called the police. Sadly he'd killed himself a few days earlier.
