He may have been slender and wrapped in foil. Many of these delivered meals look similar. It could happen to anyone. Like a misplaced modifier.

Bad journalism I know.

Meals on Wheels making a house call and found the man dead on his porch.

Amen. An eccentric old guy who used to hang around my neighborhood was eventually found frozen to death in his own bathtub (his gas had been turned off and he was apparently too proud to ask anybody for help).

I wouldn’t bet against alcohol being the culprit.

“Hey! 64 isn’t elderly. Prime of life!”

I said “elderly/senior citizens” or as Rush says Seasoned Citizens!

Yeah, 80+ is elderly, except to liberals who are trying to kill off anyone white over the age of 60.

My wife takes care of an older couple down the street a couple days a week. They said they have a signal worked out with the older single gal across the street to open their window shades in the morning - so at least they know she woke up.

Of course, falling down after you’ve opened up the shade it doesn’t help much. But I think they visit daily.

That would be my guess too... coming home from the bar, lost his keys or couldn’t get the door open, passed out on the porch.

The post office used to have letter carriers watch to see if elderly customers failed to pick up their mail. Some may still do that.

Not sure it’s the prime of life, but it’s not elderly in my book. I’ll be 65 in a little over a year and plan on celebrating with a picture of me in a “Senior Citizen” parking spot. On my Ducati.
