Not baby related but my poor elderly neighbour has just passed away 😞 he has no family or friends and always has refused help. Weve taken him xmas dinners, food, offered him help ect and he would never accept any help. Last week friday he fell in the communal hallway and couldnt get up and my partner helped him up, he walked off as though nothing had happened. I contacted adult social care and they were going to send someone out. He used to be a rev at a church and they paid his rent but in the 4 years ive lived here ive never seen anyone visit him. He drunk lots and smoked constantly our communal hallway always smelt. The last 3 days weve smelt something odd and my partner went in today (he leaves his door on the latch as he struggles to find his keys) and he was on the floor passed away 😢 so incredibly sad. We contacted police and the body has now been removed, my question is who do we contact now? The smell is horrendous and theres flies coming in and out constantly. I dont have a number for the landlord as the letting agent deals with everything and obviously they arent open at weekends. We live above him so obviously its quite distressing. Any idea who i should contact? Tia x sorry for the distressing post

I know it’s extremely sad but just remember u and ur partner befriended him and looked after him and it probably meant a lot to him. At least he died knowing someone cared xx
It is awful but he really didn’t want anyone to help 🙁 can’t stop thinking about it. The landlord got our voicemail and came out but he said it’s still an ongoing investigation and it’s not allowed to be touched so all he can do is open the windows until the investigation is done. He must have been there a few days the poor man :'( the police are going to contact me to let me know if they find any family but chances are he doesn’t have any. He was such a lovely old man I just wish there was more we could have done. Thanks all x
Oh no that’s ever so sad ,have your letting agents not got an emergency out of hours number to contact? If not maybe ring social care and explain you rings previously and that he’s died and then explain the situation they might be able to point you in the right direction x
The local council will now get into, next of kin or close friends will be contacted.
This is basically what has happened to me and my partner. It’s an odd process
You need to phone environmental health or your local council. But first check the police are done in there as the forensic team may still need it untouched x
Contact a funeral director and they should be able to give you advice, explain wot has happened basically wot u have told us and they hopefully can put u in contact with someone. .😔
Ring the out of hours number for you local council and just explain it to them they might be able to help and put you in touch with the right people x
It would be environment health u would call for that I’m sure as the house will need totally gutted before anyone else can move in there xx
Just get in touch with letting agency regarding the smell etc…as for the funeral and registering his death the authorities will do all that…really sad
Oh bless you, how sad, does the letting agency not have an emergency number for call outs and things like water leaks and what not x
This is so sad 😭 to die alone and be there for days 😭😭
I would phone the emergency council and ask them who would be able to clean the flat?
Think the police will contact the housing hun and sort it out he should have a letter with his landlords number on if it’s private it’s awful when you see people with no family u could always try the church see what they say
What a shame poor wee man at least he had great neighbours like use 😢😭 x
If he has no next of kin or close friends then the council will arrange for him to be buried (cremated usually)…..
Aww how awful 🙁 I would contact adult services hun they will have everything on file for him xx
I think it’s so disgusting that no carers or social care even checked on him! Poor man!
Try and see if he has family, this has honestly broken my heart 😢 the death has also got to be registered x
Aww the poor guy 🙁
There should be a emergency number you can contact
Contact the council out of hours number I’m sure they can help.
