Not to detract from the tragedy of her death, but the Steven Wilson album based on this story is an absolute masterpiece.
I’ve always been curious who were the recipients of the gifts considering she cut herself off people. Maybe the gifts were just part of a coping mechanism ala Mark Hogancamp’s Marwencol.
Never heard of that - can you share a link?
strange how she had been in housing provided by a trust dealing with victims of abuse, but in that time they never checked in with her.
This could be any of us. It just takes a few bad decisions and a health issue.
True but the odds are somebody from your family, friends or neighbours would notice. Somebody. Everybody (mostly) have somebody in their life, like a one person that keeps tabs on you.
Terrible to think she died in a position that she had not a single person like this in her life…
Maybe not two years, but if you move to a new place and no one knows you there, it might take a while before they know you’re dead. Even if people do check on you… a friend of mine’s mother, who didn’t have custody of her, died when she was in high school. She was the first person to check on her mom in two weeks and found her dead. She’d been dead for a long time.
I mean I won’t actually care if this happens to me after I’m dead. There won’t be a me to care. But it’s still disturbing to think about.
