Dead Woman Found Three Years After Death

On January 25, 2006, officials who were repossessing a London housing unit found the skeleton of a 38 –year-old woman in one of the units. Officials determined that the woman had been there for three years prior to the discovery.

Officials did not find much information beyond the woman’s name (Joyce) and birthplace, and they could not ascertain the cause of her death. One curious filmmaker, Carol Morley, placed advertisements in different publications for people to come forward with any relation or information to Joyce. Eventually, Morley found several men who had dated Joyce. No one that she met would reveal how Joyce might have died. She seemed to be very beautiful and to have an infectious personality.

Morley compiled the information that she gained from the individuals who came forward and has made a documentary about Joyce entitled “Dreams of A Life.”
