SIR – Re your front page story ‘Body in flat for a month’ ( Worcester News, September 7).

It’s shocking that a man in his 80s has been found after this long. How appalling that no one noticed him ‘missing’ or that nobody was curious as to why they had not seen him around.

It’s too late now to make a fuss. How times have changed. In years gone by, if you didn’t see your neighbour you would knock on the door to see if they were all right.

It’s not the world it used to be, sadly.
