Anne Leitrim : Mummified corpse of nurse discovered after 7 years

The mummified body of a nurse who had been accused of inappropriate conduct towards a child lay undisturbed in her home for seven years.

Anne Leitrim, 58, was last seen in June 2007 after receiving a final warning by Homerton University Hospital, in east London, following a disciplinary hearing. She failed to turn up for work in August or answer letters and phone calls, and her position at the hospital was terminated.

The inquest heard she had been taking medication for anxiety and stress for about 10 years.

The coroner said a note found at the flat could be treated as a suicide note – but there was no physical evidence at the scene to indicate she had taken her own life.

The note in Ms Leitrim’s handwriting read: “My doctor’s have done anything wrong. I loved my babies. goodbye Janet.”

At a post-mortem examination no toxicology test was possible to check for drugs or alcohol. Medication found at the flat was still in its foil wrapper.

An open verdict was recorded.
