The 82-year-old’s remains were discovered by a neighbor of her Benedict Canyon home and authorities imply Vickers could have been dead for nearly a year, and while the cause of death has not yet been determined the coroner suggests it was a natural death.
Vickers, known for roles in the 50’s hits Attack of the 50 Foot Woman and Attack of the Giant Leeches, was unrecognizable when she was found in her rundown and neglected home last week.

According to reports, the home was littered with piles of clothing, junk mail, debris and cobwebs.
“She kept to herself, had friends and seemed like a very independent spirit,” neighbor and actress Susan Savage, who found Vickers, told the Los Angeles Times.
“To the end she still got cards and letters from all over the world requesting photos and still wanting to be her friend. We’ve all been crying about this. Nobody should be left alone like that.”

My heart goes out to this poor woman, what a sad story. I do not understand how a person can be dead, for maybe a year, and nobody notices they haven't been around or if their affairs aren't being kept in order?

Very sad. Just shows that people don't check on there elderly neighbors as they should. She must not have had a single soul who ever called or checked on her. Sooo sad!

Didn't anyone notice the mail piling up or didn't the utilities get turned off? you would think there would be so many signs that someone needed to be checked out or something..
