A WOMAN'S decomposing body was found rotting in her home six weeks after she died.<\/p>\n
Sophia Yuferev, 37, who had paranoid schizophrenia, was discovered by cops who faced a "potent and overwhelming smell" on entry.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Officers were first alerted by Sophia's care coordinator that she missed her injections, and her mum also reported concerns.<\/p>\n
During a welfare visit to her flat at Hornchurch, East London, in November last year, cops removed Sophia's peephole only to be hit by a putrid stench.<\/p>\n
After making their way inside, police endured a "potent and overwhelming smell" before finding the artist "laying on her back in a white night gown", reports The Mirror.<\/p>\n
Sophia was\u00a0estranged from her mother and the financial support she provided after their last meeting ended in shouting, the East London Coroner's court heard.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
East London Coroner's court heard that Sophia had gone without her fortnightly medicine for six weeks, a care coordinator for ten weeks, and Personal Independence Payments since February 2021.<\/p>\n
And it was revealed that her North East London Foundation Trust care coordinator only realised she missed her appointments on November 12 after picking up Sophia's case – in a caseload of 25.<\/p>\n
Due to the level of\u00a0decomposition\u00a0it is not clear if Sophia died within this period, though "there was post gathering outside the address".<\/p>\n
A toxicology report found alcohol levels consistent with decomposition and Sophia was known to be teetotal – so alcohol was ruled out.<\/p>\n
