The flat's windows did not allow direct sight to the inside. Neighbours had assumed the flat was unoccupied, and the odour of decomposing body tissue was attributed to nearby waste bins. The refrigerator in her bedsit contained food with 2003 expiry date labels. It is not known to whom the presents were addressed. Her remains were described as "mostly skeletal" according to the pathologist, and she was lying on her back, next to a shopping bag, surrounded by Christmas presents she had wrapped but never delivered. She suffered from asthma and had a peptic ulcer at the time of her death, so some have suggested an asthma attack or complications surrounding her recent peptic ulcer as a possible cause of death.

In November 2003, after vomiting blood, she was hospitalised at North Middlesex Hospital for two days, due to a peptic ulcer. The flat was owned by the Metropolitan Housing Trust and was used to house victims of abuse. In February 2003, Vincent was moved into the bedsit flat above Wood Green Shopping City where she later died. We understand she was in a relationship and there was a history of domestic violence." It has been speculated that she was either ashamed to be a victim of domestic abuse or did not want to be found by her abuser.

Shortly afterwards, Vincent spent some time in a domestic abuse shelter in Haringey and worked as a cleaner in a budget hotel. She worked at Ernst & Young for four years in the treasury department, but resigned in March 2001 for unknown reasons. She later worked at C.Itoh and Law Debenture before joining Ernst & Young.
