Stunned neighbour Cleo Gifford, 34, said nobody had visited tragic Isabella in 18 YEARS.
She added: “It was a wee shame. She was always cleaning, and would go hiking. She was very fit and only became frail in later years.”
Isabella’s next-door-neighbour in Bellevue, Edinburgh, who did not want to be named, said: “A cop told me she’d been dead since at least 2005.”
He said he hadn’t noticed a smell until officers opened the door of the flat, believed to be owned by Isabella, on Tuesday. It’s thought bills continued to be paid by direct debit after her death.
