Sad - almost made me want to cry...God rest and take their souls....
His wife was still young. they thought they don’t need in-house helpers.
I had read where their dog was
found dead in the house also,
and that the front door was wide
open when the bodies were found.
So sad. May they rest in peace.
RIP. This is why you have kids. No guarantees, whether today or in days past, but kids are generally the ones who make sure mom and dad are okay. They got together in her 20s - plenty of time to have several.
What a way to go, living with your deceased loved one for a week and not aware she’s dead. The stench must have been awful. You’d think there would be someone looking in on them daily. Oh well.
We had a neighbor die a few years ago. He was not discovered for a few weeks after he died in bed. This sort of thing happens more often than one would think.
I enjoyed most of Gene’s movies. Towards the end of his life he apparently had TDS. Many actors make hard left turns in their later years. Another one is Harrison Ford.
So there were obviously no wellness checks on them from family members. Very sad.
Did the dogs that were loose eat them?
Hanta is not rare. We get a local case every year or so. If you muck around in your own garden after an infected mouse has pooped in the mulch; you can get infected. In 30 days you are dead.
Looks just like the WuhanFlu, and then you keel over.
Hantavirus is nasty stuff. As a hiker I’m more concerned about getting it from rodent activity in an overnight shelter than I am afraid of grizzly or mountain lion encounters.
Sadly this is what can happen if you live a reclusive lifestyle. Nobody contacts you very often.
It’s amazing how both died at the same time including one of their dogs.
