"The body was badly decomposed and it was evident that part of the body had been eaten by animals," he concluded.
"She said she felt that some days she couldn't get out of bed because of her back and that was stressful for her because she was so active and loved walking the dogs. I don't believe she would have taken her own life. She wouldn't have left her dogs and I went in the flat after she died and the dog food was out on the side ready for the next day."
