This is certainly not an easy read but it is a stunning and important piece of reporting by my very talented colleague @andrewkersley.bsky.social and the @londonermag.bsky.social team.
In November 2023, police discovered the decayed corpse of Tracey Turnell in Walthamstow Market.
She had no phone, job, passport, friends or lovers. There wasn’t a single photo of her.
It was as if, in her far too public death, she entered the public record for the first time. Who was she?
A decayed corpse was found being wheeled through the centre of Walthamstow. Who was she? And who is to blame for her death?
