Researchers claimed that some of the deaths may have been avoided if the individuals had been in hospital.
The number of dead bodies left undiscovered in UK homes for at least a week rose dramatically in the first year of the Covid crisis, new research suggests.
There was also a 70% increase in the number of bodies being markedly decomposed, with the study authors suggesting there would have been at least one to two weeks between death and a post-mortem examination for a body to reach those levels of decomposition. Researchers compared post-mortem examination reports and coronial documentation from one pathologist at a central London mortuary.Experts have previously raised concerns that some sick people may have been too scared to go to hospital during the pandemic – with thousands of Covid deaths later being attributed to people who were hospitalised with other problems.
