Mother and daughter 'kept body of dead grandmother for months to claim her pension'

Olive Hazel Maddock, 61, allegedly kept the body of 95-year-old Olive in their home for up to a year.

Daughter Jasmine Maddock 35

An actress left her dead mother’s body in bed for up to seven months while she claimed her state pension.
When Olive Maddock, 95, died of natural causes her daughter, Hazel Maddock, 61, and granddaughter, Jasmine Maddock, 35, did not organise her funeral.
Although they shared the same house they claim not to have noticed the widow had died, as she was an eccentric who often shut herself in her room and kept herself to herself for weeks at a time.
Hazel Maddock, a singer, model and television actress, continued cashing her state pension, until a suspicious friend called police who discovered the body.
