Woman who lay dead in flat for three years wrote she was 'starving' in diary

The "mummified and almost skeletal" remains of 38-year-old Laura Winham, who was deaf and had schizophrenia, were found in her flat in Woking in May 2021. Her family, whom she had asked to stop contacting her, say she had been "abandoned and left to die" by social and mental health services.
