    Sad ending for a beautiful lady. My neighbor offed himself because he was so far behind on his bills. We noticed that his car had not moved for three days and he had a beautiful German Shepherd that hated everyone except a few of us neighbors ( like me) his brother had promised to take care of her if something ever happened to my neighbor and he lied and left her at the shelter so I went and picked her up and we had her for several years until her death. I hope my neighbor knew that we loved his dog and that they are together again. Always keep an eye on your neighbors and loved ones.

    The way she ended up is exactly the reason I call my mom every day since my dad died 11 years ago. We check in, I know she is okay, and all is well. I have her next door neighbor's number, and they have a key to her house, so if I am ever concerned, I can ask them to pop over and check on her. This will not happen to my mom!

    One of my sisters-in-law was found like Yvette. The neighbors noticed deliveries stacking up next to the door of her condo.

    There was a 38 year old woman in London, Joyce Carol Vincent, who died unnoticed in her bedsit (studio apartment) for 3 years. It was only after her bills started piling up (she lived in council sponsored housing) and a constable came to her flat, to collect money. When they found her skeletal remains, the TV was still on, & there were Christmas presents she had been wrapping. No pathology tests could be done, due to the decomposition.
    Her story was made into a documentary, Dreams of a Life, in 2011. She was a beautiful woman, that had aspired to be a singer, & had a glamorous social circle. Another real mystery, how she fell through the cracks, & had such a tragic ending. 😢

My mother who was not a hoarder would get in fights with my grandmother over turning on the ac. She would also try to clean up the hoard. I got scolded for asking why Nannie would not clean her house. I was 6. I am also the truth teller in the family. I also did not have children because I was afraid it was genetic. It is! My brother shows tendencies. He never cleaned his room. It was disgusting.

    Very sad ending for Yvette .
    This is why it’s important to have someone you can trust checking up on you if you live alone . Widows and widowers sometimes end up like this . I had an aunt that no one could get along with , including her sister, my mom . She had her gall bladder removed . Complications developed from that surgery . She had a blood clot that went to her heart , killing her. Her landlord didn’t find the body for 5 weeks after she died . Terrible ….
    So if you’re the type that is like my deceased aunt , try to get along with at least another . Her landlord went over there only because the rent was over due by a week . And she had always paid her bills on time . My mom went to her own grave never forgiving herself with the difficulties she had with her sister . There were 7 siblings in her family . All 7 had remorse over this .

I would think someone would have bought it by now and replaced it with new construction. And, with rats having undisturbed access for 6 months with a deceased body, one can conclude that much of the missing and dislocated parts were consumed/moved by their activity. Poor lady.

    My Uncle was found in the home after a week after suffering a fatal heart attack. My Dad called him multiple times, but left it alone because my Uncle was a very private individual and unfortunately, a hoarder. It wasn’t until my parents saw mail piling up and cobwebs on the box that they called the police. The police went through the back door to go inside and once the smell hit my parent’s noses, they knew he was gone. Thankfully, they didn’t see the body. They only provided an ID card to the officers because they had trouble IDing the body. The stove was on underneath a kettle because he was making tea. Being on for a week, the stove burned right into the metal of that kettle causing a big black spot. The kettle saved the house from burning down. I live there to this day. The home is now clean and modern. Despite the fact that he passed away inside, I feel it’s a wonderful home.
    The story of Yvette Vickers came up in my mind after the mailbox part. But thankfully he was found only a week later.

    When people become senior aged, their body moves less as time goes by. With her living by herself, she was not able to keep up with much in or around the house. It is also possible that she did not have money to hire people to do it for her. Maybe she was too paranoid to let people in or around her house to do the needed work.

    Unfortunately, many elderly who live alone die and aren't found for days and sometimes weeks. It's so sad she didn't have anyone to check on her regularly. Once you reach a certain age and don't get out and exercise enough your muscles become too weak to really do much so I'm not shocked that her home went downhill. If she wouldn't allow anyone to visit and became paranoid it's not surprising she died alone and found in that state but it is truly sad and heartbreaking to think someone so lovely and full of life in her younger years died in such a manner.

    I looked at a google image search for her and found many photos she had taken in the house in Benedict Canyon when it was in much better shape . Apparently she had a long term relationship with Timothy Hutton and Cary Grant . She must have bought that house early on when real estate was still affordable . She was married 3 times - I don't think she had any children - at least she didn't wind up in some sleazy motel on a sagging mattress. So sad she wound up dying alone and forgotten - that's Hollywood.
