Hudgell Solicitors are representing the family of a vulnerable 38-year-old woman who say a catalogue of failings caused he to be ‘abandoned and left to die.’
Laura Winham lay dead in her social housing flat for more than three-and-a-half years. Relatives had found themselves in a ‘heart-breaking’ situation and unable to maintain contact after years of her schizophrenia caused her to believe they would harm her, the situation only worsening when they tried to reassure and help her.
The case has been highlighted in national media today as Hudgell Solicitors supported the family in speaking to the media, ahead of an Inquest into Laura’s death.
Through the inquest process, they intend to demand answers as to how somebody who was known to various bodies as being vulnerable, and of poor mental health, could be ‘abandoned’.
