Sounds like a manslaughter charge to me.

If they find the perp, he or she should be charged with murder.

When the thieves are caught, they better be charged with murder.

I tried to get her and her son to come over here, but you know people like to stay home. I think I'd visit a neighbor before I'd sit in my house and die.

Death penalty for the thieves.

I think they could make manslaughter stick.

A 79-year-old Oak Cliff woman succumbs to the North Texas heat and dies in her home just two days after reporting to police that her central air conditioner had been stolen. You know it's bad hot when they're stealing residential A/C units.

That's what I love about my tiny town. Neighbors notice when lights aren't on at the normal time or if someone hasn't picked up their mail. If someone isn't well, you can bet that someone is checking on them.

What is this world coming to? I hope they catch who ever committed this heinous crime and the book is thrown at them.

If I was a Donald Trump guy, I think I'd have at least ONE researcher on line scouring news reports for pwople, ways and reasons to give a blessing.
The police report was 2 days old ... I think I could'a gotten a check to a local AC installer, booted him a couple a hunnert to expedite the job and install a temp window unit while the central was replaced.
I know I've done similar things in the past with a couple of lump sums that came my way .. as I believe many HERE have also.
I don't understand these types of tragedies that a small amount of paper would have rectified and saved a life .. I really don't.
Especially if I posessed a large quantity of paper.

My grandmother couldn’t stand accepting help from anyone. My father and uncle had to take her to the doctor by force sometimes.
In the case in the article, the situation shouldn’t have arisen, of course ... but if the a/c had simply stopped working, the end result might have been the same.

Your tiny town sounds lovely, wish the small town I lived in had been like that. I lived in a gossip mongers paradise. I was so glad to get away from there and back to the city where I have some privacy in my banking, my doctors visits my court house business.

After living next to the same people for 50 years or more like my grandmother did I think it stops being help or charity. I remember granny and her neighbors doing things whether they needed help or not. It became a simple matter of being neighborly.
I've been here for more than a decade and I'm still building that kind of relationship with my neighbors.
