The woman, whose name is Chantel as per the <em>BBC<\/em>, said a pile of maggots fell from the ceiling of her house in south London when she changed a lightbulb. Sheila Seleoane, her upstairs neighbour, died in August 2019 but her skeletal remains were discovered in February 2022, the <em>BBC<\/em> report further said. Her body was so decomposed that it was not possible to determine her cause of death.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve got them in the bedroom, the living room, and the bathroom. And more or less all over my furniture,&#8221; Ms Chantel said, describing the problem she faced. &#8220;You&#8217;d sit down on the sofa and after a period of time you&#8217;d find a squashed maggot. It was like living in a horror movie.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ms Seleoane&#8217;s body was discovered by the police after they broke down the door of her home following a complaint by neighbours.<\/p>\n<p>The skeleton was dressed in a blue pyjama and white top.
