A woman lay dead in her London home for more than two-and-a-half years after the Met Police wrongly suggested she was “safe and well” and a housing trust failed to investigate, an inquest has heard.

Sheila Seleoane is believed to have collapsed and died in the hallway of her Peckham flat in August 2019, shortly after telling her doctor about wheezing and breathing difficulties.
