Joyce Vincent was 41 when she was found dead in her home, but she was 38 when she died. For three years, from 2003-2006, her body lay surrounded by Christmas gifts she was planning to wrap; the television still on. How does this happen? Especially to a woman who was social, who two-years prior had a high-powered job at Ernst and Young, who had rubbed elbows with celebrities, and who wanted to get married? That’s what Carol Morley set to find out. But her new documentary film, “Dreams of a Life,” is about more than just Joyce Vincent, a young, beautiful London woman whose parents were from the Caribbean and who no one seemed to miss when she was gone. It’s about life, death, and loneliness.”
a friend told me about this the other day. so sad and unsettling.
wow, this is utterly heartbreaking and makes my skin go all creepy-crawly
I read about this earlier today and there’s so many questions. Is electricity and rent free in the UK or something cuz how in the world could her TV be on and not be evicted & found for 3 WHOLE YEARS if someone wasn’t paying the bills??!? Something like this wouldn’t happen in America. If your shit is past due, someone is gunna find you.
And really?! Her neighbors are just gunna ignore the stench of a corspe emitting from the apartment?!! C’MON SON! Too many damn questions. This seems surreal and an urban legend, but it’s not. I wonder if she was an everyday around the way looking kinda Black woman, would this doc have ever been made?! I doubt it.WOW…that’s intense. I hope they find out what happened to her
