A dead woman rotted in her east London home for six weeks after ‘appalling’ failures by her mental health team, says her family.
North East London Foundation Trust care coordinator Oyemike Ogunnusi told the court she first read Sophia’s case file on November 8.
The coroner initially declined to hold an inquest, but a campaign by Havering councillor Bob Perry – backed by the Romford Recorder – forced a change of mind. Dr Shirley Radcliffe admitted Sophia’s death would remain ‘extraordinarily puzzling’ due to how much the body decomposed, to her family’s heartbreak.
A blood test carried out in June last year showed her blood levels were normal and there was nothing to suggest she was diabetic.Lawyer Andrew Perfect suggested sudden weight loss could not be ruled out, noting that Sophia had no known income after being cut off benefits. But a report by integrated care director Irvine Muronzi said a bigger problem was the high use of locum and duty staff.
