Woman whose body was found in flat had complained about leak which left kitchen floor like a 'swamp'
A woman found dead in her bathroom was “distressed” about an ongoing leak which had turned her kitchen floor into a swamp, according to a neighbour.
"She was distressed because of the state of the leak and the state of the property. It was terrible. She told me that she tried to contact the council herself and she said no one was helping.” Jeffrey said: “The carpenter opened the door and that’s when I saw the body on the floor in the bathroom. We struggled to open the door because of the letters and I saw her hair hanging out from the bathroom door.”
Emergency services were called to the South London property following the discovery of the body. She was pronounced dead at the scene.Cllr Darren Merrill, Southwark Council’s cabinet member for council homes and homelessness, said: “I am incredibly saddened that a woman has been found dead in one of our council properties, and extend my heartfelt condolences to her family and friends.
