Joyce vincent body

Dir/scr: Carol Morley. UK-Ireland. 2011. 90mins A disturbing, part-dramatised documentary, Dreams Of A Life is, like its protagonist, maddeningly elusive yet also hauntingly unforgettable at times. In it, writer/director Carol Morley (Edge) attempts to find out precisely who was Joyce Carol Vincent, a woman who died alone in a London bedsit shortly before Christmas 2003 and whose body was not discovered for another three years, the TV set still flickering over her skeletised remains.Dreams Of A Life probably poses more questions than it answers, which seems somehow right, given the story it documents.Falling somewhere between the posts of a rigorous documentary and an impressionistic, factualised account, Morley’s doc may draw audiences in the UK, where the story still has some resonance. Despite its blurriness (interviewees aren’t named, for example) and a somewhat bland shooting style not always helped by reconstructions, this may also attract festival attention. Vincent’s story shocked Britain and Morley’s documentary effectively pokes at the wound, disturbing the viewer with its core questions about the very measure of a life in today’s fast-paced urban society.On the discovery of her body, surrounded by wrapped Christmas presents, Vincent became something of a mystery in the UK, with neither the police nor the coroner’s court able to piece together quite who precisely she was and how her death passed un-noticed for all that time. Who were these wrapped presents intended for – the people who never even noticed she had gone?Morley has spent five years hunting down Joyce Carol Vincent, placing

Joyce Vincent (October 19, 1965 – December 2003) was an English woman whose demise went unnoticed for over two years as her lifeless body lay undiscovered in her bedsit in north London. In the period leading up to her passing, she severed almost all ties with those in her social circle. Having resigned from her job in 2001, she sought refuge in a shelter for victims of domestic ab*se. Concurrently, she began distancing herself from friends and family. She ultimately passed away in December 2003, and her remains were found on January 25, 2006. The suspected causes of d*ath include an asthma attack or complications arising from a recent peptic ulcer.The narrative of Vincent’s life and d*ath became the focal point of “Dreams of a Life,” a docudrama film released in 2011. This film, along with Vincent’s life, served as the inspiration for musician Steven Wilson’s album titled “Hand. Cannot. Erase.”D*athVincent resided above Shopping City in Wood Green, North London, in a Housing Trust flat. The exact cause and date of her d*ath are unknown, but it is speculated to be around December 2003. Vincent, dealing with asthma and a peptic ulcer at the time, led to speculations of an asthma attack or complications from the recent peptic ulcer as potential causes of d*ath. Her remains were mostly skeletal, discovered lying on her back next to a shopping bag, surrounded by unwrapped Christmas presents she never delivered. The recipients of these gifts remain unknown. The refrigerator in her bedsit contained

FeaturesLouderDecember 2003: It is a few days before Christmas. In her North London bedsit, Joyce Carol Vincent has just returned from a shopping trip in Wood Green. She turns the heating up to banish the bitter December chill and flicks on the television for some company before contemplating the wrapped Christmas presents laid out before her.The past few years have been somewhat tumultuous for the attractive young woman of Grenadine descent. She resigned from her job working in the treasury department of well-known financiers Ernst & Young a few years prior in 2001 and had sought help following domestic abuse, spending some time in a shelter in Haringey and later finding work in a small hotel. For reasons that are only known to herself, she had slowly retreated from contact with her four older sisters. Her mother had died when she was 11, her father, with whom she had a fractious relationship, would die in 2004, although an indication of the turmoil surrounding Vincent at the time led her to claim he’d died in 2001.Quite why Vincent chose to cut herself off from her family we’ll never know. Was it shame from the alleged domestic abuse? Was it from her fall from grace from a well-paid city job and a life that had brought the young Londoner into contact with the likes of Nelson Mandela and Gil-Scott Heron, as well as having dined with Stevie Wonder, to working in a budget hotel? Perhaps she was even still suffering at the hands of her then-fiancé? None of this we will ever know.What we do know, however, from the Christmas gifts wrapped and ready to be delivered that sat around her, is that there appears to have been a move to rebuild bridges with her sisters. Some of those gifts were addressed to members of a family she had not seen for almost two years. It seems that Joyce Vincent was on the verge of hauling her life out of the doldrums of the past two years – wherein she’d suffered at the hands of the aforementioned domestic abuse and more recently had been treated for a peptic ulcer at hospital – and was on the path to sorting out the loose threads.Joyce Vincent never delivered those Christmas presents. She would never see any member of her family again, despite her sisters hiring a private detective, who indeed found Joyce’s bedsit in
