A Hampshire women's dead body was reportedly eaten by her own cats after being left undiscovered in her home for several weeks.
Janet Veal was found in the kitchen of her isolated Ringwood home after her concerned neighbours raised the alarm, as they had not seen her for a long time and her mail was overflowing in the letter box.
When the officers reached the 56-year-old woman's home, they witnessed her body lying on the kitchen floor, with body parts missing as a result of being "gnawed and eaten" by her animals that might have been left without food for months.
The cops gained entrance into Veal's house through rear window in her semi-detached home in Crow Arch Lane, by using a ladder, to find her extremely decomposed body and a number of dead cats and dogs along with a few alive ones.
