I’m not buying this BS. So his wife supposedly died a week before him and he never reported it?

And yes, how’d the dog die?

He was elderly and infirmed. He might even have been unable to walk without assistance.

He was 95 years old and she was his only caregiver. I think he had some form of dementia.

Apparently you know of no one who has had Alzheimers. The ultimately die because they forget how to eat, and/or breathe.

I can see it happening. The caregiver dies suddenly. The loved one is left alone and confused ... So horrible.

What I don't understand is how no one checked on them. If the maintenance guys hadn't stopped by, their bodies would probably still be in there.

He had Alzheimer’s. My ex mother-in-law has that, and she doesn’t even know how to tell time anymore.

“””So his wife supposedly died a week before him and he never reported it?””

With Alzheimers he wouldn’t be able to understand what was going on. And since she was no longer there to give him his daily medications he would be in very bad shape quickly.

My sister is the caretaker of my BIL who has dementia. If she died he’d just wander around the house or sit in a chair.
